Toxic yellow
THEME DAY: YELLOW • The longhorn cowfish (Lactoria cornuta) has horns at the front of its head, hence its name. It is not a food fish as its flesh is poisonous and it also releases a toxic substance when harassed or stressed. They come in different shades of yellow, from bright yellow to olive. I saw this lemon yellow specimen in the bahura (reef) section of the Manila Ocean Park.

ReplyDeleteThis is the one and only time toxic has ever looked cute to me. What a sight!
ReplyDeletelooks can indeed be deceiving. just imagine what that cute looking fish can do. that's one of the cutest creatures there i remember when i last visited the manila ocean park.
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant yellow colour of this longhorn fish. It looks so tame that it's difficult for one to gauge that it's poisonous.
ReplyDeleteWish you a lovely weekend, Hilda.
That yellow is the bestest of all that i have seen. :-)
ReplyDeletereally different pick!
Happy April to you!
ha, what an amazing creature? I guess he just wants some attention.
ReplyDeletewonderful Theme Day photo.
A very interesting-looking creature! It definitely is yellow.
ReplyDeleteHilda - What a great choice for Theme Day! This fish is amazing and the color is magnificent! Many times in nature, the brightly colored animals and plants mean danger or toxic.
