Red-lipped Batfish
The expression may be, “to put lipstick on a pig,” but in this case it looks like someone put bright red lipstick on a, you guessed it, fish. The lipstick, however, is not making this fish look happier or more friendly. Somehow, it only makes it seem a little like someone who works at the DMV.

As if the big red mouth wasn’t strange enough, the red-lipped batfish is also not a great swimmer and uses its fins like legs to stand on the ocean floor. The funny-looking horn on its forehead, is not ornamental, the fish actually uses it to attract prey.
