WTF මුහුද ඉන්න කැතම...
what the fish!!

මේ ඉන්නේ මුහුදේ ඉන්න කැතම මාළු ටිකක්..බලන්නකෝ මේගොල්ලන්ගේ කැත..
Coelacanth
The coelacanth is called the dinosaur fish by some people, since it has been around for millions of years. Unfortunately, that means its looks are a little outdated.
It has large eyes and a small mouth that it can open very wide. It also has two tails, thick scales and a pair of fins that it can move alternately, the same way a horse moves its legs when trotting.
Stargazers
There is a reason why the fish belonging to the family Uranoscopidae are called stargazers. They have eyes on the top of their large heads which constantly look up and which can bulge out when the fish are buried beneath the sand —
imagine only a pair of eyes sticking out of the sand.
The mouths of stargazers are turned up, as well, and inside are worm-shaped appendages that they use to lure prey.
Gulf Toadfish
The gulf toadfish, like some of the other fish on this list, has slimy, scaleless skin, a large, flat head and a wide mouth with sharp teeth. And it is ugly for a purpose — by looking disgusting, it avoids capture and predation.
Don’t want to be deceived by appearances? Well, in the case of the gulf toadfish, it is best to stay away from it, since its slime actually has toxins that can irritate skin.
Moray Eel
Speaking of eels, moray eels have the most startling appearance among eels, with small eyes, gaping jaws and sharp teeth.
The teeth are not just sharp, but they’re also hooked, which means that once a moray eel bites you, you have to pry it off, as it won’t release its grip even if it dies. (Yikes!)
The green moray eel is particularly fearsome and is often mistaken for a sea serpent.
Atlantic wolffish
The Atlantic wolffish is another fish with fearsome teeth — four to six sharp fangs followed by three rows of crushing teeth. It even has saw-like teeth lining its throat! Why does it need so many teeth?
Because it only eats crustaceans, sea urchins and hard-shelled molluscs.
The Atlantic wolffish also has small eyes and a long, slender body like that of an eel that it moves from side to side, which is why it is also called the wolf eel.
Viperfish
One glance at this creature and you’ll wonder whether you’re looking at a sea monster. After all, it has large eyes and an even larger mouth that takes up most of its head. Worse, its mouth has long, sharp, glass-like teeth.
Some of its teeth are so long they have to curve backward in order for the viperfish to close its mouth.
With these teeth, it is no wonder the viperfish is a fierce predator in the ocean depths, luring prey by turning the lights along its spine on and off, and then snagging its prey with one powerful bite, chasing after it if necessary.
Vampire Squid
Vampires in fiction are often dashing or alluring, but the vampire squid has a completely fearsome appearance, with dark red webbing between its arms, which looks like a cloak when spread out.
They also have two extra filaments that they can retract, and fins on their mantles that stick out like ears.
In spite of their ugliness, though, vampire squids have a beautiful trick — when threatened, they shoot out light orbs instead of black ink, dazing would-be predators.
what the fish!!
