Like a unicycle, this spotted
boxfish is consistently shifting to keep its rectangular body
upright. It also has a set of puckered lips, ready to kiss its
food goodbye. This colorful fish emits a poison through its
skin killing everything around it, including itself. It does
this to escape predators and only dies if the poison gets too
concentrated.

This zebra moray can be found
in Hawaii. Unlike other eels this zebra moray has crushing molars
instead of razor sharp teeth. Their molars are used to crush
crustaceans' hard shells. They are just regular animals searching
for food. If they couldn’t eat they would die out. If
they die out, there would be a lot of crustaceans and as the
population would grow, the fish would get eaten and die out.
Crazy as it seems, this eel is very important to our environment
