Now here’s a fish with the epitome of a ‘big mouth.’ Meet the Sarcastic Fringehead (Neoclinus blanchardi) – an aggressive and bizarre fish that defends its territory by battling rivals with their terrifyingly large open mouths.

No one is safe from the Sarcastic Fringehead’s wrath, as even divers have been attacked when crossing into the fish’s territory unknowingly.
