EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Dave Fleetham, we are transported to the deep blue Pacific waters of Hawaii, where a unique and fascinating creature resides. The spotted porcupinefish (Diodon hystrix) takes center stage as it gracefully floats amongst its underwater surroundings. This intriguing fish boasts an impressive defense mechanism that is both awe-inspiring and dangerous. Its round body is adorned with sharp spines, resembling those of a porcupine on land. When threatened or in danger, the porcupinefish has the ability to puff itself up, making it appear larger and more intimidating to potential predators. The vibrant spots scattered across its body add an extra touch of beauty to this already remarkable creature. As it glides effortlessly through the water, one cannot help but be captivated by its presence. Underneath the surface lies a world full of wonder and mystery, where even seemingly harmless creatures possess their own weapons for protection. The spotted porcupinefish serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving; what may seem cool or interesting at first glance can also pose great danger if provoked. Dave Fleetham's skillful capture allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this undersea marvel while reminding us to respect nature's creations in all their splendor.
