About the Cover
The hairy-looking fellow on this month's cover is a striated frogfish Antennarius striatus. Bizarre and fascinating, frogfish, also known as anglerfish, are as unusual in behavior as they are in appearance, and they're the only animals that have a built-in fishing pole for catching dinner. Learn all about frogfish for the aquarium this month in Scott Michael's "The Weird and Wonderful Frogfishes" (p. 86).

Tip of the Month:
That mudskippers, those amphibious gobies that scurry around on the shore and climb mangrove roots to get insects, cannot breathe air? They carry water in a pouch around their gills, keeping those organs wet, so they can continue to extract oxygen---sort of "wet-dry gills"!
