Crawling Fish

A recently discovered fish crawling in Indonesian waters in this undated photo. A University of Washington professor says the fish that crawls instead of swims and has forward-looking eyes like human could be part of an entirely unknown family of fishes. The creature sighted in Indonesian waters off Ambon Island has tan-and-peach-coloured zebra-striping. It uses its leg-like pectoral fins to burrow into cracks and crevices of coral reefs in search of food. - AP
