Zooplankton are drifting animals and are usually small, however, they can grow to fairly large size. Marine mammals breed very poorly in captivity with very high infant death rates. If accidentally trodden on or picked up, this creature inflicts a fairly painless bite. [1] Unfortunately, its toxin is highly lethal and fast acting. This is especial true of the South West coast of Fuerteventura, where strong currents make swimming risky. Each taste bud is about 50 nanometers (50 billionths of a meter, or 164 billionths of a foot) wide, and the bigger the fish is, the more taste buds it has.
