Meet the flounder

A fish worth a second look. Join Wild Notebook underwater for our flounder Animal of the Week feature.

Look closer

As you watch, pay attention to the eyes, the outline of the body, and the markings. Compare the close-up views with the swimming footage: which details are easiest to notice in each?

Pause the video and pick one detail you missed the first time. That small habit—looking twice—is what Wild Notebook is all about.

This flounder feature stays here even after a new animal takes the homepage spotlight.
