Flounder fish coloring pages

Flounder coloring pages introduce kids to a very unusual fish. It’s easy to recognize this sea and river dweller because its body is almost flat and both eyes are on the same side of its head. But it wasn’t always like that. Over thousands of years, flounders developed this unique look to help them hide from predators by lying flat on the bottom. Watching the world with only one eye was difficult, so the other eye slowly moved to the top side.

Baby flounders hatch looking like ordinary fish. As they grow, their bodies change shape until they take on the flat form of adults.
