Fish Metamorphosis à la Vintage Postcards


The life of this flat as a mat fish includes metamorphosis.

Young flounders swim upright with a typical eye situation until .... boom .. the eye starts 'migrating' to the other side of their body.

After this fishy right of passage occurs the flounder starts leading more of a horizontal lifestyle. He starts digging, hiding, and feeding on the sandy bottom of the ocean. Do you think that he is embarrassed about turning into such an odd looking fish?



The wooden shoe clad vintage postcard couple are too enamored with each other to notice the fatuous seafood at their feet.
