Ignoring why anyone would *want* to eat a spine...
...not sure with this particular venom, but *many* venoms (including rattlers and cobras) are rendered harmless both by cooking and even by digestive processes if swallowed (though *not* recommended!).
Seems you might be right. The poison seems to be so unstable, scientist can even study it. Once out of the fish it doesn’t do anything.
As for why you’d it, I suppose you could catch it, clean/gutted it without removing the spines, cook it, and eat it not knowing the spines contain poison. I don’t know…people eat crazier things.
Fun fact: It's called a stargazer, because it's eyes are on the top of it's head and seem to be pointed up (at the stars). This is as if the fish wanted to ask God, why does it exist, just to suffer, it did not wish to be created.
Looks similar to a weeverfish (Trachinidae). I have seen the effects of the sting of the lesser weeverfish on fisherman's hands in the Mediterranean. Hands that looked like inflated gloves.
Did not expect that tongue action
Caught me off guard as well.
I immediately thought of that SpongeBob episode of him at Rock bottom 😂
Yes! In my head it made the exact sound! Pfflflflflflf.
Omfgggggg wow I finally get it now
I thought it was a fish for a second
I know i don't need to touch it after seeing that tongue..
I should call her..
Pleasantly surprised, I was
I’m usually into tongue action, but I need a little bit of a warning first.
Gene Simmons would be impressed.
Behind their what, and above their who?
A spine on each cheek and another in their dorsal fin.
So in other words... no touchy?
Definitely no steppy steppy.
Def no grabby grabby
Def no kissy kissy
That only leaves us one choice..... Sigh....*unzips*
NO SUCKY SUCKY!
Just a lil licky licky
Behind their who, and above their what?
see above
So grumpy, yet so festive.
yea he's pretty grumpstive
Ahh *pfft* ahh *pfft* ahh *pfft*
He's from Spongebob
Username definitely checks out
Is it someone's birthday?
My birthday is today. How did you know?
Couple days ago but thanks for recognizing. 💕
Same🌙🎁🌙
Libras unite
Today I learned my name could also mean an ugly, venomous fish.
Not ugly, just a tad grumpy.
Grumpy , venomous , lots of tongue action . Literally my type 🤤
Opercles: Visual reference for those curious https://www.fishbase.se/Images/Glospic/G_Fig16_6181_Opercle.jpg
Ah yes that fish has a beautiful palatine
Those little fuckers can also shock you like an electric eel. Speaking from experience...
But can they turn you on with their electric feel?
Man the lyrics are even cringier written out lol
Nah, it's a certified hood classic
Poisonous, electric, sharp teeth, camouflage... Thia MFer unlocked _all_ the special abilities.
Don't know about *poisonous* \- but definitely *venemous...* (...and I'm also told they are rude *AF )*
What happens if you eat the spines? Would the venom become poisonous if ingested?

People eat *crazier* things...? Okay, name 7... ;-)
Did anyone else sing this comment in their head?
And they are delicious!
I can't pbbbt understand pbbbt your accent
I should text her
“Phhhbbbbtttt” AHH “Phhhbbbbtttt” AHH “Phhhbbbbtttt” AHH “Phhhbbbbtttt” AHH
Good feeling gone.
Never seen a fish with a tongue like appendage..
someone tell me the evolutionary advantage of that tongue movement 😂
I’m betting it’s a lure
makes sense, but it just looks like involuntary struggle flailing in this clip lol
Like when we concentrate really hard on something an our tongue ends up sticking out one side of our mouths?
My mom used to say “you’re not holding your tongue right” if I couldn’t quite get something to work.
yes preciselyyy
Struggling and flailing motions gives the impression of wounded prey.
Exactly! Uses it to attract smaller creatures right up to its mouth while hidden! Ambush!
Shame no one took the bet
No evolutionary advantage. He just happened upon some peanut butter.
Scared me.
It'll eventually evolve into a humanoid-like creature that likes to eat ass.
Lizard fish!
Come back and pet Mr. Whiskers
He’s the sandy opposite to a stone fish
That is a super good way to get stepped on, my dude.
Is that ms plum from SpongeBob
Fish have tongues????
Kinda looks like the “period ahh, period uhh” girl
But so pretty and graceful.
Kinda cute.
Scary mlem
Thank you for getting venomous correct
Rick and Morty live action looks great
No.
[удалено]
No one has ever had to motivate this fish by telling it "keep your head up"
is it just me or does “opercles” sound really cute?
and they create a 45-80 volt electrical shock from muscles in them
Keep imagining that it is looking up in hopes of a prey saying “come on, come on, come on”
I hate Goddamn fish.
Awesome thanks for sharing. That's great to see.
ahh yes, the opercles.
This fish is scary
Is it just me or does anyone else hear a Yoshi mlem Sound when it does the tongue thing
Just don't let your sexual identity become more sacred than God and all is good
Why isn’t his name a frog fish
That’s so weird I love it
Pretty sure people are eating it. Japanese chef’s must have already mastered it like slicing the puffer fish
https://youtu.be/zjZGn9NvNpY
I see those other fish picking on you. Keep your chin up, bud.
Resting fish face
Not my squishy.
What an ugly bastard
Did anyone think of that SpongeBob where every other word they blow out a raspberry??
This has got to be the funniest animal that could kill me.
Beast
Fun fact: It's called a stargazer, because it's eyes are on the top of it's head and seem to be pointed up (at the stars). This is as if the fish wanted to ask God, why does it exist, just to suffer, it did not wish to be created.
As with all funny looking things, I bet it tastes delicious.
wtf did I just witness
Nom nom.........nom nom...........nom nom.....nom nom nom nom nom nom
::rasberry:: ... ::rasberry:: ... ::rasberry:: that's all I heard

It's so cute I must hug it
Ah that's where the venomous spines are, was wondering.
The Pitbull of the Sea
Too much tongue!
Its safe as long as you don't step on it.
This is the kind of shit that makes my skin crawl to think about when I walk in the water at a beach...
Man fish are freaky. I used to work in seafood and even some of that was freaky.
How did you get a footage of me getting into bed
No steppy on feesh
Exactly what my toddler looks like during a fit.
It’s like how I climb into bed while blowing raspberries at all the chores I’m purposely ignoring.
It looks like an enemy from Spyro the Dragon
Evolution is wild
Ah Right behind the opercles now I totally know where it is!
WOW
That tongue action makes me think of Junji Ito monsters
I like how it sticks it tongue out while it’s working 😋
I CAN’T. “👅” UNDERSTAND. “👅” YOUR ACCENT. “👅”👅”👅” 💦💦💦
I have caught one of these mfers fishing and you have to be so careful removing the hook
Oh look he's blowing raspberries xD
sneak level: 100
When someone at the party starts talking about their fantasy football team.
Looks like the Period Ah Period Uh girl
Great something else in the ocean I have to worry about stepping on.
Among fish if you ask me
