Toad Lumpsucker


The toad lumpsucker is found in the North Pacific, southeastern Bering Sea and from the central Aleutian Islands to the northern Gulf of Alaska.

The toad lumpsucker is found on or near the ocean bottom at depths from 226 to 558 ft (69 to 170 m) down.

Not even 3 inches long, this little guy is maybe as long as a baby carrot. 
They probably eat animals found on the ocean bottom including crustaceans (like crabs or shrimp), mollusks and polychaetes (ocean worms).
