Triggerfish skeleton, X-ray
Triggerfish skeleton. Coloured X-ray of a triggerfish (family Balistidae). Its name originates from its ability to erect the first two dorsal spines (upper left), which can then lock or unlock, preventing the fish from being swallowed by predators or being pulled out of its nest. The fishs head extends into a snout with strong jaws containing eight teeth on the lower jaw and six on the upper jaw. Triggerfish are found in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific. They grow to between 30-75 centimetres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Triggerfish skeleton, captured through an X-ray. The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating anatomy of this remarkable creature from the Balistidae family. The name "Triggerfish" originates from its unique ability to erect and lock its first two dorsal spines, providing it with a clever defense mechanism against predators or threats near its nest. This evolutionary adaptation prevents it from being swallowed whole or pulled out of its safe haven. As we delve deeper into the image, we observe the fish's elongated head extending into a snout adorned with strong jaws containing eight teeth on the lower jaw and six on the upper jaw. These powerful tools aid in capturing prey and surviving in their natural habitat. Triggerfish can be found dwelling in various regions such as the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo-Pacific oceans. Growing up to sizes ranging between 30-75 centimeters, they are truly awe-inspiring creatures that command attention. Through this photograph's radiographic lens, we gain insight into not only their predatory nature but also their biological makeup. Each bone is meticulously displayed within this false-colored x-ray image – an exquisite testament to nature's complexity. This stunning print by Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of both our curiosity for zoology and our appreciation for Earth's diverse wildlife.
