Another gallery... this time one of venomous fish! These fish may use their venom in defensive (against predators) or offensive (against prey) ways, but either way their venom helps them to survive. Maybe this is a reason for why some fish live so long.
Another attribute shown by some of the fish in this gallery, is that they are so well-camoflaged. They blend in so closely with their surroundings that they can easily sneak up on prey, and easily escape predators. On the flip-side, though, many of these fish are so brightly coloured and have such strange patterns that their venom is obviously needed....
