That makes it a good time to share a favorite dive video. It's an encounter I had last year with a Red Sea Walkman (Inimicus filamentosus) -- also called a Two-Stick Stingfish, I guess -- in the Gulf of Aqaba near Dahab, Egypt. It's one of the most mind-blowing fish I've ever seen, with adapted fins for walking, a menacing scowl, gorgeous butterfly wings for pectorals, and venomous dorsal spines. I wonder if this is what our ancestors looked like.
