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).
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
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.
