[00:00:00]Look closely at this rock. If you step on it, you have less than an hour to get to a hospital. This is the stonefish, the most venomous [music] fish on the planet, and it is a master of the invisible kill. The stonefish doesn't swim away from predators. It is the predator. It stays perfectly still, blending into coral reefs and sandy floors until it is virtually invisible.

[00:00:18]It can sit in the same spot for days, waiting for a fish [music] or a human foot to come too close. Along its back are 13 razor-sharp spines. When pressure is applied, these spines act like hypodermic needles, [music] injecting a potent neurotoxin. The pain is described as the worst known to man, often causing temporary paralysis [music] or heart failure if left untreated. But, it's not just a defensive fighter. When a small fish swims by, the stonefish attacks in less than 0.01 fis-seconds, so fast the human eye can barely see it. It opens [music] its massive mouth and swallows its prey whole before they even realize the rock was alive. So, next time you're at the beach, watch [music] your step.
