👉 "Pettifogs" is a scientific term that describes a type of marine animal. It refers to small, carnivorous fish found in shallow waters off the coast of North America and Europe. They are known for their sharp teeth and powerful jaws, which they use to capture prey such as crabs, shrimp, and other small animals. Pettifogs have been hunted for centuries by humans, leading to significant declines in populations around the world.
