Comments : These sculpins are very common where ever there is rock
structure in Puget Sound. They sometimes appear similar to Irish Lords,
however, have a thicker body, are not quite as brightly colored, and
have eyes that are not as big relative to their body) Like Irish Lords,
they are able to change their shading and color to match their
surrounding and are masters of camouflage. We often encounter them
sitting patiently wait on a rock or a wall hiding from would be
predators while waiting for prey to wander by. If you are very careful
and gentle, you can actually pick up a Buffalo Sculpin without it
moving.
