You shouldn't be scared or either, unfortunately groupers are getting rarer, I used to see them all the time 20 years ago, I haven't seen one in 2 years now. I wish people would stop killing them. Also whales, or taking them out the ocean as babies, away from their mothers to spend decades in a tank for humans to gawp at.

It's crazy how they look like later versions of the Coelacanth, they just lack the boned fin structure and the jaw structure. They have similar bodies.

@daybreak9641 8 месяцев назад

One of my goals in life, as a Paleo- enthusiast is to swim alongside a live Coelacanth. I cannot begin to describe how much I admire ancient life. And to see one organism still virtually unchanged since its birth in the middle Devonian is awe inspiring.

@thomashvnmusic 6 лет назад

I often go spearfishing and meet them sometimes but i could never shoot one of them because they are such a magnificent animals and i would rather sit and stare at it while it swims by than shoot it. I am usually happy with a much smaller fish around 3kg which is enough for me to take home and eat so shooting such a magnificent fish is an overkill and out of question. We need to respect the seas and nature around the globe as human ignorance and greed is thriving these days and corporations would pull it as far as they can't get away with it in order to make profit on the expense of the fish and causing environmental disasters. It will be too late before they realize how much damage they have done.

check this out, there is a guy I heard tell a story working on an oil rig & having to use underground toilets. One day he want down to use one & he sad there was an eye the size of a dinner plate just looking right at him,. I think it was in the actual bubble chamber. When they went back to look at film it was a Huge Goliath grouper. In the Deep night, A grouper w eye the size of dinner plate. He dont care what u look like, just whether u can fit in his mouth or not..
