🐟How big is the humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus)? It can grow up to 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) long and weigh as much as 421 pounds (191 kilograms)! 👄In addition to its whopping size, it’s distinguished by its prominent lips and forehead bump. Its menu includes a variety of sea critters such as mollusks, urchins, and sea stars. This endangered fish inhabits coral reefs in Indo-Pacific waters but is a rare sight in the wild—and is becoming even more rare due to overfishing.

Humphead Wrasse

[david-koeth]

Humphead Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) According to @wwf: “The humphead wrasse is an enormous coral reef fish—growing over six feet long—with a prominent bulge on its forehead. Some of them live to be over 30 years old. They roam through coral reefs in search of hard shelled prey such as mollusks, starfish, or crustaceans. WWF urges local governments in the Coral Triangle to stop the trade and consumption of humphead wrasse—one of the most expensive live reef fishes in the world. Live reef fish trade in Southeast Asia continues to be a significant problem that threatens the region’s food security as well as its reefs, as poachers often resort to legal and destructive fishing methods to catch them.” - #coral #humpheadwrasse #endangered #endangeredspecies #art #drawing #ipadpro #applepencil #line #lines #blackandwhite #animals #illustration #quarantineart #2020 #2020art #meditativeart #adobe #adobefresco #fresco #apple #vectors #vectorart #vector #digital #digitaldrawing #california #June #June2020 @wwf @adobe @adobe.fresco @behance (at Stallion Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwdsnxgdEh/?igshid=fc21x2go074j
