Why Arent There More People Constantly Talking About Flatfishes. This Is An Animal That Lives Its Whole

Why aren’t there more people constantly talking about flatfishes. This is an animal that lives its whole adult life on its side so it has to move one of its eyeballs around to the other side. Are there people who don’t even know this or is it one of those things everybody just takes for granted so they never stop and think about how completely nuts that is.

I bet people don’t even know that some of them are pretty

That some are so specialized they practically evolved into flatworms

Or that some can change their color patterns to try and match their surroundings

Or that all of them are predators

Or that some of them, like the many popularly eaten species of halibut, get big enough that if they really wanted to, they could probably eat you too!!

This is a good shot of a big one swimming, presumably before photographer Audun H Rikardsen disappeared mysteriously
