Frogfish are concentrated lumps of oddity waddling around the ocean floor, flipping their lures and gulping up prey. And while they may seem lethargic, they actually have one of the fastest attack strikes on the planet: A frogfish can swallow its prey whole in 1/6,000th of a second, which means they are also a little bit ninja. Do yourself a favor and watch these frogfish in action. #wildlife #animals #nature #videooftheday #frogfish #weird #ninja | Center for Biological Diversity
