The cowfish is a unique marine species belonging to the family Bovidae. It is known for its distinctive appearance, featuring a boxy body and prominent horns that resemble a cow's. Cowfish are typically found in warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, where they inhabit coral reefs and sandy areas. These fish are primarily herbivorous, feeding on algae and small invertebrates. Cowfish have a fascinating defense mechanism; when threatened, they can release toxins from their skin, making them unpalatable to predators. Their vibrant colors and unusual shape make them popular in aquariums and among marine enthusiasts.
