Their name comes from their tendency to rest completely still on their elongated fins, giving them the appearance of a tripod! When they’re still, their fins appear stiff, but interestingly, when the fish are actually swimming they seem flexible; this had lead to some theories that the fish may pump their fins full of fluids to make them stiff but they’re otherwise quite bendy.
Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?
