Ibintu by'ukuri

1

When lit by blue or ultraviolet light, it glows red. This is called biofluorescence, and it may help the fish communicate with others of its kind and aid its camouflage.1

2

It has twelve venomous spines in its dorsal fin, and it is these spines that make it dangerous.1

3

Its wide mouth and camouflage let it wait for prey to pass close by before it strikes.1

4

It is sometimes partly covered with sediment, which helps it stay hidden on the seabed.1
