The scorpionfish is not a cousin of any scorpion, but these two species have something in common: the venom! In the fin of this fish, there is a thorn from which a powerful poison comes out. Anyone who touches him is hit on the spot. Another strategy for this animal when hunting is to stay still, to be mistaken for a rock or seaweed. Then, when a goldfish passes by, it is taken by surprise.
