Red Lion Fish at Buenos Aires Zoo in Buenos Aires, Argentina

The red lion fish is gorgeous to watch at the Buenos Aires Zoo, Argentina, but do not get too close while swimming along the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific because it is highly venomous. When threatened, it will rollover and expose its long spines that sting. They can grow to over 18 inches and live ten years. Its scientific name is Pterois miles.
