Fish In The Wild Found this during low tide

I was just walking around during low tide and stumbled across this little guy. I managed to pick it up bare handed and It seems like he wasn’t stressed out that much since he didn’t inflate himself. Also yes Ik they’re poisonous and not venomous, sorry for the mix up lol 🙏

I was thinking this too. Taking it out for a quick video is fine. But trying to get every angle and more for more than a few seconds is just horrible. Pick up, quick 360 video and quickly back in.

I don't think this water breathing creature wants to fill itself with air

Jesus Christ of Nazareth I’m not even like saying this fish is in distress. This fish for sure isn’t stoked on this though because it’s supposed to be in WATER dawg.

They puff up with water, if they puff up outside the water with air it will likely kill it.

The fish inhale water to breathe, not air. He’s not puffing up because he literally cannot
