“Moo.” Just kidding, this cow isn’t a cow at all… it’s a fish! Meet the longhorn cowfish (Lactoria cornuta), a colorful species that inhabits reefs in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific. Some scientists think its signature horns protect it from predators, making this fish hard to swallow. But the longhorn cowfish has another trick up its fins: When threatened or stressed, this critter gets toxic! To ward off foes, it can secrete a neurotoxin-filled mucus from its skin.
