As shown? , taken from? Rick Trippe, an Australian diver, recently took a picture of snakes and fish biting each other when he went out to sea in Darwin Harbour in the north: a nearly 2-meter-long sea snake and a stone fish bit each other's bodies and wouldn't let go. Because both species are highly toxic.

Scientific name of stone fish?

Poisonous family? Synanceiidae ? Fish? (which one is specific, it is not appropriate to distinguish)

The body is flat and flat, and the width of the front is about equal to the height of the body. The head is big and irregular. The large oblique fissure of the mouth is nearly vertical. The body has no scales and thick skin, and there are many cortical processes of different sizes and shapes on the body. The body color is varied, with three wide horizontal bands on the side, an arc-shaped wide stripe on the front and back of the pectoral fin, and light color on the middle and outer ends. The dorsal fin is continuous, with dorsal fin spines12 ~14, and toxic glands at the base, which can secrete neurotoxicity, which is fatal. The body length can reach 40 cm.

Benthic, slow-moving, living in rocks, corals, mud bottoms or estuaries. They are masters of camouflage in the animal kingdom, and can "lurk" quietly on the seabed like stones, waiting for their prey to take the initiative to come to the door. Although the stone fish will not take the initiative to attack, no one dares to risk close contact with it. The spines on the back of the stone fish can resist the attack of sharks or other predators. The venom released can lead to temporary paralysis and die without treatment.
