Frequently asked
How do pufferfish inflate their bodies?
Pufferfish have a special elastic stomach that can rapidly fill with water or air when threatened. They gulp large amounts of water through their mouth, expanding their stomach like a balloon to increase their body size up to three times normal, making them too big for predators to swallow.
Are all pufferfish poisonous?
Not all pufferfish species are poisonous, but many contain tetrodotoxin, one of the most potent toxins in nature. This poison is concentrated in their liver, ovaries, and skin. Interestingly, pufferfish aren't born toxic but become poisonous by eating bacteria that produce tetrodotoxin.
What do pufferfish eat in the wild?
Pufferfish are omnivores with strong beak-like teeth perfect for crushing hard shells. They eat algae, small crustaceans, mollusks, sea urchins, starfish, and coral polyps. Their powerful jaws can crack open tough shells that other fish cannot break, making them important reef cleaners.
