Lizard fish are pound for pound one of the most ferocious animals on the planet.
They attack with lightning speed and are constantly on the lookout to ambush other fish. If Lizard fish were two metres long, I am sure that it would be too dangerous to go diving. Sargeant Bakers have only soft rays in the dorsal fin. There is also a tiny second dorsal finknown as an adipose fin. They sit alertly balanced on their large pectoral fins.
