Normally, pectoral fins are used to swim but this fish has evolved two small stilts that allow it to walk and dig the seabed instead. While this is by no means unique for an ocean species, it's still fascinating to observe this type of irregularity. Perhaps, a long time ago another species did just the same, and that is why there are creatures (such as you and me) walking on land today.

Motionless, this fish sometimes stay at the same site for several months. Not agressive, but will inject a venom if stepped on. It's the world's most venomous fish.

Those times I'm lucky enough to hear whistles and clicking sounds I instantly change focus from finding small stuff, snails or whatever I'm up to at the moment, and instead scout for what could be dolphins. They are fast swimmers, so if they are around, they are not necessarily for long. Most often I will not find them, but sometimes I do, and some of these encounters I believe are the dolphins approaching me more than the other way around. They are curious, playful and intelligent creatures.
