Harvard and Stanford researchers were understandably amazed the first time they encountered a walking fish called a sea robin.
The unusual animal has a fish’s body, delicate fins that resemble a bird’s wings and six leglike appendages similar to those of a crab. When the scientists decided to study the sea robins on a genetic level, they encountered a surprise in the lab: While some sea robins use their “legs” just to walk, others use them to dig for prey on the seafloor. The team captured video of the digging sea robins, whose specialized appendages are covered in sensitive taste buds akin to those on a human tongue to detect prey.

This picture was taken in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The photograph, taken by photographer Homonylo, shows more than 4,000 birds that died colliding with windows and other reflective surfaces in the city last year. “Each year more than one billion birds die in North America alone due to collisions with windows,” says Homonylo.

A mesmerizing mosaic of brown and tan denticles surrounds a nurse shark’s piercing eye. Denticles, similar to scales, give the shark’s skin a sandpapery feel but also reduces drag to help this shark zip faster through the water.
