 A South American cichlid, the yellowjacket cichlid "Parachromis friedrichsthalii", also uses death feigning.They turn over onto their sides at the bottom of the sinkholes they inhabit and remain immobile for as long as 15 minutes, during which they attack the small mollies that come too close to them.The comb grouper "Mycteroperca acutirostris" may also be an actor, though in this case the behaviour should be called dying or illness feigning, rather than death feigning, because while lying on its side the fish occasionally undulates its body.
