Cobia

The cobia is a relatively unknown fish. When most people come across it they think it is a shark. That is because after they are born, cobias tend to leave their mothers to live with a pod of sharks. For a time they foloow their new family, copying their moves. When they are old enough, cobias leave the sharks to live on their own. They make other animals that would be their predators believe that they are actually sharks so they get left alone. The main difference between cobias and sharks are that cobias are bony fish. Unlike the shark they have an actual skeleton made from bones.
