CROCODILE FISH


They are predatory bottom-dwelling fish, using their camouflage to ambush their prey.

Crocodilefish are brown or green and grey, coloured this way to be camouflaged with their habitat. Juveniles begin black.

Crocodilefish live in areas where thesea floor is soft or sandy and their camouflage is most effective, usually associated with reefs or mangroves.

They are carnivorous, and will eat a most fish small enough to fit in their mouth.

Divers who come across a crocodilefish have little to worry about—the fish often remains very quet, even if humans approach them.

Today´s Quotation:
Claude M. Bristol: Determination

"It's the constant and determined effort that breaks down all resistance and sweeps away all obstacles."
That´s what you all need : be constant and determined to pursue your aims in life . The effort is worth and the satisfaction invaluable.
