Camo Fish in Action | National Geographic

we’re here in Indonesia for this class
in underwater survival example what a
type of angler fish called a frogfish
you think you’re looking at a yellowish
sea sponge and you are but if you look
very closely you’ll see a frog fish
sitting there that’s what a frog fish
does sits there so bigger fish get used
to it and leave it alone example 2 the
ghost pipefish these guys have evolved
to mimic something no self-respecting
predator would be caught dead eating huh
seagrass hence these ghost pipefish are
free to drift wherever the tide takes
them
example 3 the leaf scorpionfish a
similar strategy to the ghost pipefish
the leaf scorpionfish has evolved itself
to look like a leaf on the sand example
for the cockatoo wasp fish a final
example of this scheme not only has the
cockatoo ross fish evolve to look like a
dead leaf it’s learned to rock back and
forth like a leaf would so what’s the
takeaway from today’s class to stay
alive down here morphing into a plant
shape might be the way to go with this
work for humans no probably not
