Article Abstract:
The difference between the Ogcocephalidae batfish and the Epippidae batfish is presented. The odd appearance of ogcocephalids helps them blend into the ocean bottom and although some scientists believe may think that ephippid batfish resembles a bat, the shape of their fins makes them resemble certain flatworms and mollusc that fish find unpleasant to eat.
