Framed Print of Monster Fish
The Monster Fish, Thalassophryne amazonica, has hollow dorsal spines filled with a toxin. These fish bury themselves with only their eyes sticking above the substrate. Stepping on one of them can be an unpleasant experience. The sting of this fish can cause serious medical problems in humans, including anaphylactic shock. The species is endemic to the Amazon River and its tributaries. It is captured in areas of shallow water with sand or silt bottoms. The fish lie in wait for smaller fish to pass within their reach, where they swallow them whole. These fish are often exported for the aquarium trade. This specimen was photographed in the Peruvian Amazon 2010. © Dante Fenolio / Science Source
