The Parrotfish

This brilliant and colourful species may grow to be anywhere between one and four feet long and survive for an average of seven years. Surprisingly, a Parrotfish may change its gender many times over its life! It may also change its patterns and hues as it grows older. Scientists have a tough time categorising Parrotfish because of this. Parrotfish, dubbed “one of the most weird creatures ever,” may be found in tropical waters all over the world. Its primary food source is algae, which it extracts from coral reefs. The algae is scraped off using the animal’s front teeth, which are fused together and resemble a parrot’s beak, and then devoured by another set of grinding teeth.
