Welcome back to the second episode of our new format for Bizarre Beasts, which we're calling Season Zero. Over the next year, we will be remastering episodes of Bizarre Beasts that were originally created for Vlogbrothers.
Revisit the Red Handfish with us as we (once again) confront the question, why is this fish walking?
A special thanks to the Handfish Conservation Project / Rick Stuart-Smith, for so much wonderful Handfish footage. If you'd like to learn more about the Handfish Conservation Project, you can visit their website here: https://handfish.org.au/
