The Tripod Fish 🐟 📹 @schmidtocean: This video clip shows - in detail - how the tripod fish is practically eyeless (there is no natural light at this depth). Its long, bony fins are thought to be strengthened by fluids pumped into them when the fish is ‘standing’ to be more rigid. These fins can also feel the vibrations made by approaching creatures in the muddy sediment. When the tripod fish is swimming, the long fins float softly (and a little awkwardly) beneath it, as seen here during an #Oc

The tripod fish (Bathypterois grallator) is a deep-sea fish known for its peculiar method of locomotion. It gets its name from the elongated rays of its pelvic and lower caudal fins, which it uses like a tripod to stand on the seafloor. Tripod fish are found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, typically at depths of 1,200 to 4,700 meters. They can reach lengths of up to 37 centimeters (14.5 inches).

🌲 The Nature Wolf 🌲 on Instagram: "Some fish swim. This one stands. 🎥 from @shmidtocean Meet the tripod fish (Bathypterois grallator), aka the tripod spiderfish. Perched on three elongated fins like a creature from another world, it stands motionless on the ocean floor—sometimes for hours—letting the current deliver food straight to its face. Nearby, a brittle star inches past, oblivious to the ghostly domain perched above. Tripod fish can swim, but rarely do so. Its eyes? Practically useless
