pufferfish
is
a
family
of
fish,
with
about
100
species.
They
are
also
known
as
the
blowfish,
fugu,
swellfish,
and
globefish.
They
are
called
the
pufferfish
because
when
they
are
threatened,
they
puffs
up
to
about
twice
their
normal
size
by
gulping
water.
In
this
enlarged
state,
the
pufferfish
can
swim
at
only
about
half
their
normal
speed.
Pufferfish
are
generally
believed
to
be
the
second-most
poisonous
vertebrates
in
the
world,
after
the
golden
poison
frog.
They
use
tetrodotoxin,
a
powerful
neurotoxin.
Most
pufferfish
are
found
in
sub-tropical
and
tropical
marine
waters(including
coral
reefs)
in
the
Atlantic,
Pacific,
and
Indian
Oceans.
Some
puffers
live
in
brackish
and
fresh
water.
The
scientific
name
refers
to
the
four
large
teeth,
fused
into
an
upper
and
lower
plate,
which
are
used
for
crushing
the
shells
of
crustaceans
and
mollusks,
their
natural
prey.
