The estuary stargazer is a unique fish with a broad, flattened head and upward-facing eyes. It inhabits estuaries and coastal waters in New Zealand and southeastern Australia. Growing up to 10 inches in length, it is known for its ambush predation strategy, often burying itself in sandy or muddy substrates with only its eyes visible, waiting to catch unsuspecting prey.
