Description
Another LEGO® kit inspired me for a drawing: [link]

This time the subject is a large bony fish very similar to tunas but dreadful and ferocious.

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

DRACOTHYNNUS CARNIFEX (aka Dragon Tuna, the Sea Butcher)

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Perciformes
Family: Scombridae
Genus: Dracothynnus
Species: D. carnifex

SIZES AND APPEARENCE

Color: Dark blue-green upper, blue-green middle, white with black stripe lower
Lenght: 4.5 m (14.76 ft)
Weight: 500 kg (1100 lb)

ECOLOGY

Habitat: All the seas except the Artics and the Dead Sea
Living depth: 2000 m (6.560 ft)
Diet: Carnivorous
Hunting activity: Daylight
Preys: Cephalopods, crustaceans, fishes, sometimes sea birds and middle-size sea mammals.
Attacks to men happen, but it's not a man-eater fish.

FEATURES

Maximum swimming speed: 90 km/h (56 mph)

PLOT

One of the greatest tunas, this fish is also known for its hunting attitude, more aggressive and ferocious than the other tunas.
Their preys are usually sea animals such as cephalopods, crustaceans, fishes and sometimes sea birds, but a pack of these fishes could easily hunt and kill an animal greater than them such a middle-size sea mammal.
They also attack humans if disturbed.

The drawing above shows their size comparison between one of these fish and a human being and the shape of a scale; you can also note the horns over the eyes, the sharp teeth in the mouth, the mighty dorsal fin and the stripes in the lower part of the body.

One of the fastest fish of the sea and a perfect hunter, both lonely or grouped, who don't leave an escape to its preys if it feels hungry. Blood lust is its job!

So, remember to take your iron gloves the next time you wanna make your day on a tuna catch!
