Spotted Jaguar Catfish

This jaguar catfish runs a denser, more rounded spot pattern than some of its rosette-marked relatives, but the underlying strategy is identical: broken camouflage that scatters its outline against a mottled riverbed, paired with a nocturnal ambush habit that keeps it tucked into cover through daylight hours.
