在法属玻璃尼西亚的土阿莫土群岛生活的天歇鱼试图将自己藏在沙子里。作为乔装高手，天蝎鱼用隐秘的着色和专业的附属肢体帮助它们避免被掠食者发现和躲避突如其来的袭击。当它们的伪装被识破会有什么情况出现呢？天蝎鱼会用它们极具毒性的背鳍鳍棘进行闪电般的攻击。

A scorpion fish attempts to hide in the sand in French Polynesia’s Tuamotu Archipelago. Masters of disguise, scorpion fish use cryptic coloring and specialized appendages to help them hide from predators and surprise prey. What happens when its cover is blown? The fish uses its highly venomous dorsal spines in a lightning-quick attack.
