Hey, Mother Nature. Who are you hanging out with today?
嘿，大自然母亲。你今天和谁一起出去玩？
The hairy frogfish.
毛茸茸的青蛙鱼。
What a fun name! Is it part frog?
多有趣的名字啊！它是一种青蛙吗？
No, it's a fish, with a few extra adaptations.
不，它是一条鱼，有一些额外的适应能力。
Okay. Does it have hair?
好吧。那它身上是有毛吗？
Nope! Instead of hair, it's covered in thousands of fleshy spines called spinules that help it blend into its surroundings.
不是的！它没有毛发，而是浑身上下有着成千上万的肉质刺，这些刺被称为小棘，帮助它融入周围的环境。
Does it swim like a fish?
它像鱼一样游泳吗？
Not really. The angled fins are best suited to walk and to anchor the frogfish to the sea floor.
不完全是。呈趾状的鳍非常适合行走，以及在海底支撑青蛙鱼的身体。
Does it eat worms?
它是以虫子为食吗？
Well...
额...
What? It has its own worm?
什么？它有自己的虫饵？
In a way. It has an adapted dorsal fin that acts as a fishing rod with a lure.
在某种程度上是的。它有一个可调整的背鳍，可以作为鱼竿和诱饵。
Wow! A fish that goes fishing.
哇！一只可以钓鱼的鱼。
It doesn't just attract and catch small fish -- this furry fisherman stalks and swallows big fish, too!
它不只是吸引和捕捉小鱼--这个毛茸茸的渔夫也会跟踪和吞下大鱼！
Looks like rocks aren't as tasty as flounder. That's freaky!
看来石头没有比目鱼好吃。真是太怪了！
