The World's Most Ugly and Venomous Fish: Strangely, Many Find It Delicious
In this world, if you have to say which fish is the most ugly and venomous, then the stonefish will definitely be on the list. It is a very poisonous fish, and its 'fatal stinger' is described as giving humans the most painful sting.
Stonefish belongs to the boxfish family, scientific name 'Roseatus boxfish', because it looks like a rose and is poisonous, so it is named 'Roseatus'. The stonefish is terrifying in shape and appearance, very ugly, like a stone, hidden in a pile of stones, and difficult to detect. It doesn't actively attack prey. When approaching it, its venom will paralyze or even kill the prey.
The stonefish is smooth and scaleless, with a crescent-shaped mouth and a gray-stone-colored back, with faint stone-like patterns; the belly is drum-shaped and reddish-brown. Its body length is about 30 cm, the body is thick and round, and there are many wart-like protrusions, like the skin of a toad. Its special ability is to change with the environment, and its skin will also change with it.
Stonefish is found in many places in our country, including Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan.
Good news! Although the stonefish is ugly, it has tender flesh and no fine spines. It has high nutritional value and has the medicinal effects of moistening the intestines and nourishing the lungs. People with poor skin can also eat it to beautify themselves. Seeing it, you must want to buy one to taste it, but you probably won't dare to kill it.
