How do cabezon use their poisonous spines?

Cabezon, a type of fish found along the Pacific coast, possess poisonous spines located in their dorsal fin. These spines serve as a defense mechanism against potential predators, deterring them from attacking. When threatened, cabezon can raise these spines defensively, warning off larger fish and other threats. Their venomous nature adds an extra layer of protection, making them less palatable to predators.
