Yellowspotted burrfish using its defense system

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.

They are also known as Balloonfish. These fish are known to be very friendly with and curious of scuba divers. Image taken whilst scuba diving in the Andaman Sea, Thailand.
