A Fish with a Sting
Don't let its name fool you, the scorpionfish might look like a rock covered in seaweed, but it's actually a very clever fish! They have big, spiny heads and feathery fins that help them blend in perfectly with coral and rocks. This camouflage is their secret weapon, making them practically invisible to both predators and prey!
A Patient Predator
Scorpionfish are super patient hunters. They lie very still on the ocean floor, waiting for smaller fish, crustaceans, or snails to swim by. When the moment is right, they strike with lightning speed! Their venomous spines pack a powerful punch, quickly securing their meal.
Where in the World?
You can find these incredible creatures in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. There are over 200 different types of scorpionfish, each with its own unique look and hunting style.
Fun Fact!
