Lionfish


Shedd Aquarium
Chicago, Illinois

Lionfish
The venomous lionfish uses its spines to herd fish into a tight spot.  Then, quick as a wink, the lionfish swallows its cornered prey in one big gulp.  With a huge mouth that works like a vacuum cleaner, the lionfish gobbles up animals almost as big as itself.
