One of the worst kinds of fish
If you step on a fish with long spines along its back, get ready for a world of pain. Sometimes, that pain can escalate into paralysis and, in extreme cases, death. Scorpionfish are a type of fish that you don’t want to mess with. Its spines and colorful appearance should be good enough reasons to leave them alone.
This diver was just about one inch away from grabbing hold of a scorpionfish. Thank goodness they didn’t touch it, otherwise they would’ve had to be put in a medically induced coma to wait for the toxins to leave their body. Scorpionfish don’t kill humans (usually), but their toxins can leave you in excruciating pain.
