A humbug loser?</p><p>They can't swim well\u2014they lack a swim bladder.</p><p>They can't move well\u2014fins are poor substitutes for feet.</p><p>Instead of chasing prey, they have become masters of the ambush.</p><p>Step one: conceal your position.</p><p>Frogfish have evolved to mimic less dangerous, more delicious animals: Is that a sea urchin? Nope.</p><p>A sponge? Uh-uh.</p><p>What about that coral?</p><p>It's a frogfish...and so is this, and so is this.</p><p>Step two: lure in the unsuspecting prey.</p><p>Hmmm. What's that little white thing floating above the frogfish's head? A guppy? A worm?</p><p>Whatever it is, it looks yummy to passersby.</p><p>But in a classic case of bait-and-switch, it's actually just an appendage to the frogfish's dorsal fin, used to lure the curious, the hungry, and the soon-to-be-dead.</p><p>The frogfish keeps very still, waiting for just the right moment...the shrimp vanishes, in less than a hundredth of a second.</p><p>How can a fish so slow strike so fast?</p><p>The answer lies in its method of attack, called \"gape and suck.\"</p><p>No, we are not making this up.</p><p>Its jaw first pops and drops\u2014the gape.</p><p>This creates a void of negative pressure.</p><p>The water\u2014and everything near it\u2014rushes in\u2014the suck.</p><p>Let's see the instant replay. Gape. Suck. And spent.</p><p>But even this living tractor beam has its limits.</p><p>This frogfish has no teeth-it must swallow its prey whole, or not at all.</p><p>One big gulp can't catch this flounder.</p><p>It's able to pull itself free.</p><p>The frogfish will just have to wait for its next meal. Something it's very good at.</p>",
