Description
You can get eye to eye with this huge fish at the Columbus Zoo. It is called a Wrasses fish and found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans in abundance. You can find information about these and most of the other habitants of the Zoo at their web site: columbuszoo.org. They describe these as, "Wrasses are torpedo shaped with several color phases: juvenile, young adult male and female, and terminal (sex reversed) male. Wrasses can change sex in the middle of their life span, based on population needs. All wrasses are carnivores, but diet varies from zooplankton to large invertebrates, which they eat with their protruding canine teeth. They are primarily diurnal and seek shelter for the night in cracks and crevices, although some will bury themselves in the sand and others produce a protective mucus envelope." They can get up to 8 feet long!! But what really caught my eye was. . . .well, I think you know!
