Facts about the anglerfish

Some bottom dwelling forms of anglerfish have arm like fins that anglerfish use to walk along the ocean floor. These armlike fins are sometimes viewed as legs for the anglerfish. The anglerfish is thus a fish with legs. These leg-like or arm-like fins are articulated enough for the anglerfish to move and walk on the bottom of the ocean. The anglerfish often hide themselves amid sand or seaweed at the bottom of the ocean. Below are some pictures of the anglerfish.
