Yellowspotted burrfish using its defense system
photo of baby blowfish
Dried Puffer Fish. Porcupine fish have the ability to inflate their body by swallowing water (or air) and become round like a ball. This increase in size (almost double vertically) reduces the range of potential predators to those with much bigger mouths. A second defense mechanism is provided by the sharp spines, which radiate outwards when the fish is inflated.
