Stonefish is the ocean's best camouflager<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Imagine: you are walking through the shallow waters of a coral reef. In front of you are ordinary stones, covered in algae. But one of these \u00abstones\u00bb is actually a living fish! It is a stonefish, the best camouflager in the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its skin is uneven, rough, with bumps and spots. Just like a stone with moss and shells. It lies motionless on the bottom for hours, even days \u2014 and no one notices. Small fish swim calmly next to it\u2026 until they swim too close. Then \u2014 faster than the blink of an eye \u2014 the stonefish\u2019s mouth opens and it swallows its prey in 0.015 seconds! That\u2019s faster than you blink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists consider it the most toxic fish in the world. On its back there are 13 sharp spines, like cactus needles. It shows these spines only if someone accidentally steps on it - this is its protection from larger enemies. In nature, large fish and sharks know: no, no to stonefish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the stonefish can live out of water for up to 24 hours! If the tide has receded, it lies calmly on a dry rock and waits for the water to return. Most fish die in 5 minutes without water. But this one can endure it for a whole day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ever go to tropical seas \u2014 Australia, the Philippines, the Red Sea \u2014 remember: walk on the sand in special slippers. Don't step on the "stones" in the water. And don't touch the seabed with your hand. Every experienced swimmer does this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stone fish is not evil. It simply became a stone to survive in an ocean where everyone eats everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
