Bilateral flattening is characteristic of many fish species, but one notable example is the flounder. These fish have evolved to have a flattened body shape, allowing them to lie flat on the ocean floor. This adaptation helps them blend in with their surroundings, providing camouflage from predators. Other examples of bilaterally flattened fish include sole and halibut.
