Today's fishing tales caught a pufferfish having two pairs of horns

"Bukum melungke", you must understand about the identity of this marine biota I capture this. It turns out that the animal is a Buntal Box fish or a Horned Buntal commonly found in shallow seas. These fish belong to the Lactoria cornuta species of the Ostraciidae tribe. In English the fish is called Boxfish or Longhorn Cowfish. The people of Acehb call this fish with the name "Bukum melungke''or punter fish goat.

Bundle Boxes have strong and sharp teeth that are able to break the thick shells of the snail shells. This fish is able to find prey hiding behind the sand by spraying high pressure water from mouth to prey nest.

To face the extreme and dangerous marine life, the Buntal Box fish features the Creator with a variety of weapons. The rear head and body is equipped with a pair of horns, the skin is thick and light, made of hard bone plates, the beak is strong and sharp to break the shell thick snails.
