Microsecond meal

The frogfish gives fast food a new meaning. It can catch its prey quicker than any other creature. It uses its fins as legs to creep its camouflaged body around. Prey fooled by the disguise is grabbed faster than the eye can see. The process takes a 6,000th of a second, quicker than any creature can react. Extreme slow motion, reveals what no animal eye can see. Its mouth balloons 12 times, creating a vacuum to suck in prey.
