South Australian cobbler
The South Australian cobbler is a marine fish with venomous spines on its head and fins. It lives along the temperate southern coasts of Australia, in shallow water and seagrass beds. Its spines make it a fish to keep well clear of.1

Spinas pizzadas portan il tissi. Sch'ins passa sin el u al piglia, fa quai mal.
Tge fa ses tissi?
The venom is carried in spines on the head (infraorbital and preopercular bones) and in the dorsal, anal and pectoral fins. Stings cause severe pain and swelling around the affected area, along with nausea, sweating, paralysis of the limbs and fainting. In the worst cases the venom can affect the cardiovascular system, which controls the heart and blood flow.1

Fatgs
It can live for more than 14 years, and large individuals are much older than other species of the same size, because it grows slowly.1
It spends the day motionless and hunts at night, waiting for prey to come close.1
Its genus, Gymnapistes, comes from a Greek word meaning 'bare' or 'naked', which refers to its mostly scaleless body.1
