The Coffin Fish

The Coffin fish is a bottom-dwelling fish that can be found almost anywhere in the world. These curious looking fish walk along the bottom of the sea floor using their leg-like fins to crawl around.

Since they’re highly hunted by other predators, the Coffin fish have a way of defending themselves. Since they resemble the puffer fish, they can actually swallow a lot of water thus making them “blow up” to a bigger size. That way, predators have a hard time biting into them.
