Info

Shaw’s cowfi sh (Aracana aurita) Chordata – Osteichthyes Shaw’s cowfi sh belong to the boxfi sh family. Unlike most other bony fi shes, boxfi sh have an outer covering of large, thick bony plates, that provide a protective armour against predators. Because of this armour, boxfi sh cannot swim very fast to hunt, so they feed by blowing a jet of water at the sand to expose prey hidden beneath. Photo: Carina Gemignani Did you know? Boxfi sh are one of the bony fi sh families that display sexual dimorphism. This means that you can tell the difference between males and females by the colours, patterns and markings on their bodies.
