So are most land animals when you think about it.

But how the hell could a tetrapod...be able to blend in?

Most land animals are crustaceans (insects, spiders etc.), actually. Unless you define crustaceans as fish, too, which stretches the word 'fish' even more than including all land animals but isn't completely without logic, either. 'fish' is a really imprecise category.

Ah yeah, as the other commenter said, "tetrapods" is the term I should have used.
