My Top 5 *AMBUSH PREDATOR* Fish - [#5 is TRULY WHACKY!]

These 5 fish have evolved into Lake Malawi's APEX PREDATORS! Their behavior, speed, power and ability to camouflage have made them perfect ambush predators. Let's dive into my Top 5, the ones that I enjoy watching the most. The ones that luck and evolution have turned into the perfect ambush predator. If you haven't witnessed it before, the final one featured in this video is going to blow your mind! A truly whacky ambush predator!
