Hat do you do when you can?t swim fast enough to escape from danger? The puffer fish or porcupine fish as it is also sometimes referred to, lives in warm seas, and on sensing danger, the puffer fish quickly inflates its body by taking in water.

Nce it gets inflated, it turns belly-up and floats to the surface. The Puffer fish have rounded bodies that tend to taper towards the mouth and tail.

Hey are found in varied colours and they almost always have either light spots or spines.

N the picture you can see exactly how funny it looks. Most attackers are so startled by this dramatic change in the Puffer?s size that they hurry away. As soon as danger is past, the Puffer deflates.
