So walking along the shore ... and you see this. *cue horror music*

Check this out. A friend of ECSC came across this Stargazer while walking in Virginia Beach (note: these animals tend to live in the deep waters of the ‪#‎chesapeakebay‬) but this one was found ocean side. Stargazers bury themselves in the sand in order to ambush prey. Their secondary gland creates an electric which makes them a serious predator. They do not pose any real threat to humans, but they sure look menacing. Too cool. Watch your step... Photo credit: Ashley Raper Starr
