What is a Pufferfish?
Pufferfish are small ocean creatures that can inflate their bodies like balloons to scare away predators. They live in warm, tropical waters and are also known as blowfish. Most pufferfish weigh less than 2 pounds (around 1 kilogram) and can live up to 10 years. Their bodies are covered in tiny spines that stick out when they puff up, and they use their fins to swim slowly through the sea. Pufferfish have a beak-like mouth to crush hard shells like snails and crabs. Even though they look funny and friendly, many types of pufferfish are very poisonous, so other animals stay far away. With their unique shape and silly defense trick, pufferfish are some of the most surprising swimmers in the ocean!
