Longhorn cowfish
Awuduro wɔ ne honam muƆdi: Biribiara kakraNe ho yɛ awuduro, onni bɔreThe longhorn cowfish is a small, boxy reef fish with two long horns above its eyes, like a cow's. It lives in warm waters across the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea to Japan and Australia. It is a slow swimmer that protects itself with a hard box-like body and a skin poison.1

Sɛdeɛ wobɛhunu no
- Two long horns stick out from the front of the head, above the large eyes1
- Its body is a solid, triangular, box-like shell made of fused plate-like scales, with the fins and tail sticking out1
- The base colour is yellow to olive, decorated with white or bluish spots1
- It has no gill cover, only a small slit or hole behind the head1
- It swims slowly with its fins, so it looks as if it is hovering1

When it is severely stressed, it can release a toxin called pahutoxin from the mucus on its skin. This poison is toxic to other boxfish and has properties similar to sea cucumber toxins.1

Its hard box-like shell, its horns, which can be used to charge at predators, and its skin poison all protect it. If severely stressed, it may release its toxin.1

Its horns may have evolved to make it harder for predators to swallow it, and if damaged, they can grow back within a few months.1
It can make humming and clicking sounds using muscles connected to its swim bladder.1
It is slow and easy to catch by hand, and it makes a grunting noise when caught.1
On Pamban Island in India, a local belief says cows on the island turned into these fish when the land separated.1
It helps protect coral reefs by eating invertebrates that damage them, and it is also important to reef growth.1

- Females spawn in small groups, with one male and 3 to 4 females in each harem. The oval eggs hatch into larvae that quickly form the box-like armour.1
