Description
The Buffalo Sculpin is a large, predatory coldwater marine fish found along the Pacific coast of North America. It is known for its cryptic coloration, allowing it to blend into rocky and algal habitats, and its large, fan-like pectoral fins. This species is a bottom-dweller, ambushing prey from its camouflaged position.
