Framed Print of Map pufferfish
Masked pufferfish (Arothron mappa). When threatened, pufferfish gulp down water. This causes them to swell to up to twice their normal body size. It is a solitary animal found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific. It feeds on corals, sponges and crustaceans, crushing and grinding them with its powerful jaws and sharp teeth. Pufferfish are a delicacy in Japan, where they are eaten as sushi. However, they contain a powerful toxin, tetrodotoxin, that is fatal to humans, and so need to be prepared with care. Photographed in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © GEORGETTE DOUWMA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
