Q. Sea Robins, a unique fish species known for their "walking" abilities, are primarily found in which type of habitat?
Answer: Tropical and subtropical oceans
Notes: A recent study in Current Biology explored the evolutionary adaptations of Sea Robins, a unique fish species known for their "walking" abilities. These bottom-dwelling fish, found in tropical and subtropical oceans, have six leg-like appendages that are extensions of their fins. This adaptation allows them to walk on the seafloor and taste hidden prey. The study reveals that the genes responsible for these appendages are similar to those that form human limbs, offering insights into how ancient fish evolved into four-limbed animals, including humans.
