a lionfish is like a lion, if you would say so. i guess you could call it the lion of the ocean, if you wish. a lionfish is a very poisonous fish with spines across it's back. if you were to touch these spines and be injected with their poison, you would be in a lot of pain, and may even die if you did not admit yourself to the hospital right away.
