Fascinating Facts About Pufferfish Defense
When threatened by underwater predators, pufferfish quickly inflate their flexible stomachs by swallowing large quantities of water. This rapid expansion transforms their body into a spiky ball that is extremely difficult for larger fish to swallow. Additionally, many pufferfish species carry a natural chemical toxin in their bodies that acts as a strong deterrent.
