pugs have a deformed face that inhibits proper breathing. Better not to glorify the deformities caused by human selfishness.

[@Headspr0uter]

@@Veritas-dq2hs yeah. and a stargazer's face isn't squished inward like a pug's, it's features were just rotated towards the top of its head, where they were most useful for its hunting strategy. if you look at a pug skull vs. that of a stargazer it makes the distinction obvious.

[@GrandMasterNutBusterYoda]

how to spot Stargazer fish: Look for sand that has teeth and eyes.

[@mace8873]

As a DK spearfisher, we have several fish that knows that trick, but once you've cracked the code, you can sort of ID the fish by looking at the pattern they leave in the sand when they bury- Rhomboid = Plaice, Flounder, Dab. Round = Turbot, Brill. Elongated oval = Sole, Lemon Sole. "Slash in the sand" = Greater Weaver. I can only imagine something similar is relevant for the Stargazer.

[@tunkiyo]

actually think most of the fish is quite beautiful with that grey and blue 💙 like the way it moves too. Was worried the crab was gonna attack but instead it was like "woah dude, personal space"

Everyone is saying how the face looks scary when it emerges out of the sand, but it looks kinda cute ngl. Kind of a derpy Looking face imo.

[@paemonyes8299]

The reason it’s eyes bulge out at the top of the forehead is so they can see unsuspecting prey swim above them, to which they will pounce out of the sand and snatch the fish with that huge mouth. I remember seeing this fish in a documentary when I was about 10 years old and I always seemed to remember it the most.

It was only at 0:50 that I realized why its named 'Stargazer' Fish - Cool, Cute & Scary in One package :)

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

They are called stargazers because they are one of the very few animals that can use electricity as a weapon. Along the top of their heads are organs which deliver a nasty electrical shock if touched. While usually not especially dangerous to humans, it really doesn't feel good at all. People with heart conditions could possibly have complications. I caught one while fishing once without knowing about them and the electricity and surprise was strong enough to make make me fall over on my back. The term "seeing stars" comes to mind.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

I believe they also have venomous spines. Strangely enough they exist both in Australia and the east coast of the U.S. and possibly other places as well.

[@K15_08]
