The Lion Fish/ Death In The Bahamas
Deadly Lion Fish, originally uploaded by Davidlind.
When we were in the Bahamas recently we heard a lot about this little fish. It is the deadly Lion Fish and the population of them is growing rapidly in this area and elsewhere. All you need to do is brush up against it and you will have a terrible time.
They do look very different from your average fish.
Some of those who told us about this fish blame Atlantis. They say the eggs were flushed out of the aquarium and this started up the whole mess. I have no idea. But they are a terrible problem. The Bahamian government will pay Bahamians fifty dollars apiece for each fish they catch and turn in I was told.

That Atlantis connection is very interesting. Had not heard that before.

The world is a dangerous place. I was excited about traveling the world and had plans to go to a lot of exotic places then I started hearing things like this one about a tiny little creature that can cause death. I heard about people getting eaten alive from the inside out. I have been frightened enough, that I have very little desire to travel to these exotic places.
