Image Title : Scorpion Fish :: Number : UW54

A Scorpion fish lies in wait for it's next meal. To passers by, it looks like a part of the reef, but if a fish wanders too close, this scorpion fish will lunge forward, open it's mouth and swallow it's prey in the blink of an eye. In addition to their camouflage, an integral part of their defense includes poison in their dorsal spines. Look, but don't touch. Papua New Guinea.
