Diver colouredshots captured this scorpionfish walking along the sea floor on its pectoral fins in the Lembeh Straits. If you've never seen a fish walk before, you should really look at this 39-second clip. It's pretty amazing.
So...why do scorpionfish walk? I guess even fish get bored swimming all the time.

1. These particular scorpionfish are notoriously bad swimmers (but can). I am just guessing this is a much easier evasive manouevre to outwit us and other fish.
