Fish ‘walking on two hands’ spotted in Australia

A rare two-handed fish has been spotted for the first time in 22 years, moving on the sea floor off the coast of Tasmania.
The last appearance of this type of pink fish, known as “handfish”, was spotted off the coast of the island in 1999.
These fish are characterized by the presence of what looks like hands in the front of their body and move on them in a manner similar to walking.

According to Australian scientists, the movement of this fish was recorded in the depths of the sea, and pictures of it were taken earlier this year in a marine park.
This fish is classified as one of the endangered and rare fish, according to what was reported by the BBC website.
