WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 6

Dear loving readers and visitors,

We have come to than half of our series of poisonous animals. in this post, I am going to present you another poisonous animal, ie. no other than the :-





6. Stonefish

Stonefish would never win a beauty contest, but it would definitely win the top prize for being The World's Most Venomous Fish. It's venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain known to man. It is accompanied with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical attention within a couple of hours, it can be fatal to humans.

Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators.

Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn, often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier Reef.

Scuba drivers, please be more vigilant if you were in these region of this oceans. "It is nice to touch, once broken is considered sold." Sound familiar when you shop in the shopping complex. In ocean, it is even more costly if you touch this small creature and it returns with a kiss.

Thanks and trust you have learn something today. Seeing you again,

James Oh

  1. OMG, it sure looks like a stone. Its face is already a warning to divers: "Hands Off. Back Off." :)

    Very creative and sensible meaning, which most people will understand its meaning.
