Fish are Friends not Food
The Turkey Fish
While he may not look or smell like the traditional Thanksgiving fowl, this venomous fish, known as a turkey fish, showed off his plumage Nov. 25, 1996, at Sea World of Florida's "Terrors of the Deep" attraction, in Orlando.
The turkey fish is known for its built-in defense mechanism -- toxin-injecting dorsal spines. Feeling only like a severe bee sting to humans, the toxin can be extremely harmful to other fish. Found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, this sheer-finned fish feasts on shrimp and other sea life around coral reefs.
More importantly, I'm thankful for my Reefer Buddies!

Gobble Gobble!
