An Aussie man came across the creepiest looking thing ever during a camping trip in western Australia.
Speaking to Yahoo News Australia, Cam Wild revealed he was on a remote island with his friends When they came across a black Jawf fish, he said, I've never seen a black Jawf fish before.
At first I thought it was a dead cod or something.
It was pretty late by then, but it really scared the shit out of us.
According to Wild Black Jawf, fish are an ambush predator that dig their burrows with their mouths, he said.
They will sit and wait all night for prawns, crabs or small fish to get within striking distance and then make a meal of them.
Professor Cullum Brown from Macquarie University said the animals are very territorial, but don't pose any real risk to people unless you are silly enough to put your fingers in their burrow.
