flounder

Flounder is a type of flatfish known for its unique body shape and ability to camouflage on the ocean floor. It has both eyes on one side of its head, which allows it to lie flat against the seabed, blending into its surroundings to avoid predators and ambush prey. Flounders are commonly found in coastal waters and are valued for their mild-flavored, tender flesh, making them popular in seafood cuisine. Their adaptive body structure and camouflaging skills are fascinating examples of evolution, allowing them to thrive in benthic (bottom-dwelling) environments.
