The red-lipped batfish or Galapagos batfish is a fish of unusual morphology found around the Galapagos Islands and off Peru at depths of 3 to 76 m. Red-lipped batfish are closely related to rosy-lipped batfish, which are found near Cocos Island off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Ogcocephalus darwini
Order: Lophiiformes
Colors: light brown galapagosconservation.org.uk
Phylum: Chordata
Family: Ogcocephalidae
Kingdom: Animalia
Why do batfish have red lips: It's about as awkward-looking as it sounds! They have a way to lure in their prey. The red-lipped batfish is one of many fish in the order Lophiiformes, also known as anglerfish. Anglerfish are known for their unusual appendages on their heads called illiciums that lure in prey.
