This female gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis) at the National Aquarium in Baltimore made a slow, leisurely pass in front of the camera. Her eye movements show she was checking out the camera and, probably, the weird creature holding it. If she looks a little beamy amidships, it's because she was (at the time) full of eggs. She is the only gag grouper in the aquarium's collection as of this writing.
The gag grouper is one of 160-plus species of grouper found around the world. This species can be found mostly in the western Atlantic Ocea
