The stonefish is a fish that can be found in the sand but is often found in the rocks in which it's hidden.
It's not easy to spot, its skin also secreting mucus allowing it to recover debris of corals or algae on its skin.
It's the most poisonous species of fish in the world. Injuries can sometimes be fatal.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
