Saw something weird following shallow low tide water back into the ocean (Rhode Island)

It moved slowly and seemed to have a giant open mouth as it moved through the water.

Please help me identify based on sketches

I saw two fish in water 6ft deep around rocks today in Siesta Key.

  1. Side view of fish, white, skinny, rectangular shaped fish with long black fins, very fast, in a group. Can’t remember what the tail looked like so I didn’t draw it.

  2. Top view of fish, looked “pudgy”, didn’t move at all when I got close to it. Very bright coloring.

What kind of crab is this? Found in Moorea

Scared the living shit out of me when I saw this while night snorkeling. This is the clearest frame I was able to get from my footage. It was probably a good 3 feet wide at least.

This is a repost of my previous post about whatever this thing is. There’s a video of it.

Here’s one I’ve never seen before.

Some kind of catfish? Caught in backwoods in central Florida.

Baby shark!? 😂

Central Iowa - pretty small pond, public park. Have never seen anything like it in these ponds. Carp maybe?

Here are some pictures of the thing I found in the big piney river. The video of it already got some suggestions. This should just maybe clear things up. The circled areas is what appears to be a fish getting consumed or was already consumed.

This thing is eating a tadpole, it’s currently half way through with it. It’s in the big piney river in MO
