Stone Fish
Stone fish are the deadliest fish. Their bodies
camouflage them well against coral and mud and
allow them to surprise small fish and other prey.
Found in tropical waters, stonefish use their
13 poisonous spines along their backs only in
self-defense.

Angler Fish

dark. They use these lures to attract other

themselves in sand and hide among the rocks.

They have large heads, poisonous spiky fins,
and spikes so large that they can vacuum up
their prey whole as it swims by.

Lion Fish
Slow and beautiful, the lionfish is one coral
reef animal you do not want to cuddle. While

be deadly and will always make you very sick.

of years! It is the coldest and windiest desert,
but some plants like algae will grow there!
