Today on Random Fish Fridays, we take an in depth look at the Longhorn Cowfish (Lactoria Cornuta). This interesting fish is native to the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans and can excrete a toxin to protect itself from enemies.
They will grow to about 18 to 20 inches in length.
The Longhorn Cowfish feeds on worms, small fish, mollusks and crustaceans and will often hunt for it's food by blowing water at the sandy ocean floor to uncover it's prey.
One more interesting fact about the Longhorn Cowfish is that if it's horns are broken off, they will grow back.
I hope you have enjoyed this time spent learning about the Longhorn Cowfish.
Until next time...
