Southern Flounder
(Paralichthys lethostigma)
THE FIN-TASTIC FLATFISH
Diet
Small fishes such as mummichogs and anchovies, and shrimp and other invertebrates
Agility
Quick bursts of movement
Not a long distance swimmer since they mainly hang out at the bottom of the marsh or ocean
Defense Mechanisms
Can change their color pattern to camouflage with their surroundings
Burry themselves under the sand to hide
Superpower
Within the first year of their life, one of their eyes migrates to the other side through metamorphosis so they are able to see what is above them while laying at the bottom of the ocean floor
