IRP Blog Post #6

This website describes the lethal goblin fish. Bill discusses how he read about this deadly fish in Jan Morris's book, "Sydney". He explains how he never heard about this species of fish until this book. Yet, he describes that in such a vast country like Ausdtralia it is nearly impossible to know all the dangers that lurk in the waters of this country.

I found this interesting because it demonstrates how big our world is. It seems that we are secluded in the world of our own lives, and we do not even know what is around us. It's strange to think that we live in a world and we might never encounter something, yet someone across the globe lives with it daily.

  1. It is scary but also exciting to know that there are undiscovered species lurking in depths of the ocean. Maybe there are all types of super fish down there that we don't know about.
