This “nightmarish binge eater” is less than 10 inches long, but is able to swallow whole creatures twice his length and 10 times his mass. Clockwise from top left: the nightmarish trio of Pelican Eel, Goblin Shark and Black Swallower, and then the adorable little Piglet Squid. body to snap the creature up in six milliseconds so other fish don’t see — blink and you’ll miss it. Females have been known to gobble up potential mates who get in their way. To make this hunting easier, the hairy frogfish is able to change his color and even texture (think smooth like seaweed or grainy like sand) to match his surroundings. Asian Sheepshead Wrasse This bulbous-headed creature, which inhabits rocky reef areas in the western Pacific and can grow to 32 pounds, switches from female to male, most likely so that it can maximize reproductive opportunities. This change was captured on film, and it’s commonly regarded as one of the strangest sequences in the Netflix Blue Planet series. There is evidence to suggest this guy is a social fish — a diver in Japan has been calling one particular wrasse, whom he nursed back to health, to his side for 25 years using an underwater bell. Sarcastic Fringehead This spectacularly monikered maverick lives in little rocky crevices, shells or tubes dug out by sea snails and other creatures. Females deposit their eggs in the tube of a male, who’s then tasked with protecting them, so males are very territorial about their space. When they feel challenged by another male, they open their large, colorful mouths — an action that has been compared to the alien in Predator — to intimidate each other. Then they’ll charge at one another and begin what’s called a “kissy battle” — they press their mouths together until they determine who’s bigger. (They have poor eyesight, so it’s tough to figure this out on sight alone.) The smaller one usually leaves. But, if not, these guys aren’t afraid to attack other sarcastic fringeheads, other marine animals or the fingers of nosy divers, with their needlelike teeth. And the name? It refers to the original definition of the word sarcastic, derived from the Greek word sarkazo — “to tear flesh.” Piglet Squid This cartoonesque little guy, the size of an avocado, lives in all oceans, has eight arms and, well, looks like a baby pig. He has a little snout for breathing and filling himself with water for propulsion purposes. He also has two tentacles, which together look like a mop of hair when he swims, which he does upside down. He has light-producing organs behind his eyes which allow him to navigate through black water more than 320 feet below the surface. And, perhaps most importantly, the creature’s cuteness makes it an unofficial ambassador for the cephalopods, proving that they’re not all of hideous countenances. exit zero 76 april-may
