Clinocottus recalvus is a small marine fish from the sculpin family. It lives in the intertidal zone on rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean and can remain out of water for a long time.
Clinocottus recalvus differs from other sculpins by skin outgrowths and the ability to breathe air during low tide. It is important for the coastal ecosystem because it eats small animals and serves as food for birds and larger fish.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
