Info
The genus Zeus currently comprises only two species: Zeus faber, the John Dory, and Zeus capensis, which lives around the southern tip of Africa in the southwestern Indian Ocean and around Namibia in the southeastern Atlantic.
Zeus capensis is a relatively slow and energy-efficient predator that reaches a considerable size of up to 90 cm.
The Cape dory is found in midwater and near the seafloor, hunting just about anything it can reach.
As can be seen in the photo, it also takes the bait of recreational anglers.
Overall, Zeus capensis has not yet been extensively studied.
