Scary animals are not only found in the sea or in scary forests. Sometimes they surprise you when you see them in strange places. Something similar happened to a brave man. The brave man was shocked when a razor-toothed fish that he had seen in his nightmares came out of a hole in the mud fields. When it was seen, it looked like a scary stone. But on being slightly disturbed, it immediately jumped and quickly went back inside the water.
Cam Wilde was exploring mudflats with friends in the Pilbara region, a large, dry, sparsely populated area in the north of Western Australia, when he encountered the animal. He showed the black fish with blue eyes and sharp teeth staring at the group on the social media platform TikTok.
In the video, someone can be seen probing the animal with a spear. It suddenly pounces on them, causing them to flee back into the water. One person can be heard saying, “This is psycho, this is the scariest looking thing ever,” while another added, “Oh my god, oh my god, this is going to haunt me in my sleep tonight.”
“It was scary, it looked like it had shriveled up and died.” The fish was confirmed as a black jawfish, a type of ray-finned fish found in coastal waters, rocky reefs and rubble areas. Moments later, Cam found a deadly stonefish, which he almost stepped on. “There’s a stonefish, …, stay away from me,” Wilde said.
Jawfish is the popular name for Opistognathidae, a family of fish that includes about 80 species. They are native to warmer parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, where they occur from shallow waters to depths of a few hundred meters. Species-level classification is complex, and the family includes many undescribed species.
