This fish is an expert in camouflage but the eye quickly gets used to finding it!
But be careful, the bite of this fish causes severe pain and inflammation, which can lead to death in rare cases (depending on reaction).
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
