Huff And Puff And Potentially Kill A Human
Experts believe that pufferfish, also called blowfish, developed their ability to inflate as a defense strategy against predators due to their slow swimming style. Instead of relying on escape, these creatures use their stretchable stomachs to transform into a ball much larger than their standard size.
Plus, nearly all pufferfish contain a substance called tetrodotoxin, which makes them unappetizing to other fish and lethal to humans. Unfortunately, there is currently no known antidote for the effects of the toxin.
