Alex inspired this episode with his amazing Batfish footage. He just launched his channel in earnest – go and sub!

Barrett shared his knowledge with me, and is an expert on fish husbandry. His spawning footage is very rare and shows that batfish spawn in a similar way to some other anglerfish.

Raymond came through with the feeding footage at the last second. It is very rare to see them eat, especially in captivity!
Thanks also to the NOAA, Barry Peters, Nico Michiels,
and Gilles San Martin for the use of their images.

Let’s just gloss over that one fish is a horrific Spider hybrid nothing to see here
I loved that, I hope we get a full video on those soon
If I saw that I’d have thought a portal opened to the fae or demon world and one of their fish swam through.
@sinkingbugger Yea Sea Robbins are an ass when you are fishing for Fluke or fish in general. It’s not fun to catch them their top fins are thick sharp bone, actual spikes like a pencil. So to remove them from the hook can really hurt and there are tons of them in the water. Most people kill em and use them as bate. I don’t know where else in the world they are but in the waters of Long Island, NY their all over the place. They are bottom feeders.
Looks like a fish with prawn legs
Professor Jörmungandr Cape Cod also has them, but they usually don’t get in the way. One time my dad kept getting monk fish which was kinda weird. I have a pair of sea robin fins in a picture frame because I thought they looked cool
“the bottom half of a kangaroo that got flattened by a truck”…you’re a true blue legend to us Aussies, Zefranc 😂
“The bottom half of a kangaroo that was flattened by a truck.”
What kind of humor have I been watching for years?
As an Australian I can relate to it
The good kind of humor
yes
I WAS BINGE WATCHING THIS STUFF YESTERDAY OUR LORD HATH GIVEN ME ANOTHER ONE
God is good lmao
The Lord had me discover Zefrank about a year ago. I binged ALL of his stuff, then couldn’t wait for more. Lol
Samee
0:46 why does that reminds me of that weird looking flying dog in The Neverending Story ?
i can’t unsee it now so thanks for that
“You have to make sure your mouth isn’t too big for your rectum.”
Words to live by. Probably also tattoed on someone.
That’s the nicest way I’ve ever heard, “Don’t let your mouth write a check that your ass can’t cash.”
genghisconnie, If it wasn’t a tattoo before, it will be now that Ze said it.
I love how this show is a parody of most documentaries but at the same time they are actually interested in the animals so they actually get good info and footage
If you look at the credits, biologists and such are actually giving him some footage. I’d guess they also give him all the info too.

Me: * True Facts about the Frog flash backs*
Who else thought: “FLOOR GANG OUH!”
“Scientists, you need to stop getting drunk when you name fish.”
-Zefrank
“Little Johhny and Susie both hated school until they learned that scientists who discover animals get to name them. From then on they had a strong mission focus. You see, they both had a strong desire to force the scientific world to document and say, repeatedly horrific references to the Holocaust and the end times after the rapture. They would accomplish this through the naming of a new discovery.”
but then we wouldn’t have Polar bears
Zefrank: Even Wendy is pissed off
I love how he just gives names to these creatures.
Totally
“Had a good toilet, and weighed herself again. No change. How does that even happen”?
Some mysteries aren’t ment to be solved.
4:05 “little dancing bowelrinas” behind the turtles. I almost missed that one!
I did miss it till now thanks.
“You know.. turd-tles. Again, not kidding.”
Your therapist: ” The Trypophobifish isn’t real and cannot hurt you.”
The Trypophobifish: “Put your finger in my armpit holes…. Do it.”
Fear it. Show your friends. Fear it together.
THANK YOU! I can’t watch this. I came to the comments to see if I am the only one skeeved out by it.
Therapist: “Do you see the Trypophobifish right now? Is telling you to stick your finger places you know it shouldn’t go?”
Yeah super disturbing
hissing … togeetheerrr ….
This is exactly what i was thinking!
When your name is “Matthew,” and you learn what you truly are…

Mathew “Opp, thats his face!”😂🤣🙃
“They are pissed of because they are called bat fish”
Batman : I am batman
“No, I’m not going to slow it down so you can try to spell it, perv.”
Me: turns on CC.
“if you’re just following someone around and eating their crap all , you need to get out of that relationship. you’re better than that.” that was deep🥺
“If you’re just following someone around and eating their crap all day, you get out of that relationship!” Honestly that’s very good advice
The revised accepted vernacular will henceforth be “batfish crazy”.
That is all.
