Today's interesting fact has to do with the Lionfish.
The Lionfish comes from the pacific ocean.
It has sharp spines that contain venom which mean that it has few preditors.
It has become a pest in the Caribbean, where it has no natural enemies.
It seems a few were released from aquariums in the US and are now devistating Caribbean ecologies.
Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.
