Pufferfish are famous for inflating into spiky balls to deter predators, but they also have fused beak-like teeth for crushing shells, are incredibly toxic (some holding enough poison for 30 people!), are surprisingly bad swimmers that use their puff for defense, and can even close their eyes by retracting their eyeballs #underwater #ocean #oceanlife #sealife #marinelife #underwaterworld #underwaterphotography #diving #freediving #scubadiving #hawaii #hawaiilife #hawaiidiving #oahu #aloha #pacif

This amazing pufferfish behavior was taken on a liveabord organized by Alysés Diving Center at Gordon reef straight of Tiran Island, Red Sea. Can anyone explain this? 📷: Ahmed Ismail | SSI
