Staff at Sea Life Blackpool say their frogfish has a striking resemblance to the new US President.

The frogfish has distinctive facial features and front fins, which visitors have compared to Donald Trump and his famous hairstyle.

The fish can expand its mouth to 12 times its normal size, and change its pale-skinned colour to bright orange to blend in with its surroundings.

The aquarium has named the fish Donald and transferred it into a bigger tank, so that more people can see it.

Frogfish are found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. Short and stocky, they typically lie in wait for prey then strike extremely quickly in as little as six milliseconds.

The masters of disguise, frogfish are carnivores; eating fish, crustaceans and even other frogfish.
