Contender 2: Pufferfish
The Pufferfish, also known as blowfish or fugu, is a unique and intriguing fish species found in various oceans around the world. These small to medium-sized fish are famous for their ability to inflate themselves like a balloon when threatened or stressed. They have a distinct body shape with a round, stocky body, a small tail, and a protruding mouth. Pufferfish are covered in spines and have a rough, scaleless skin. They come in an array of colors and patterns, including yellow, brown, green, and black. Pufferfish are known for their slow and clumsy swimming style, and their average size ranges from a few inches to a couple of feet.
Fun Fact: One interesting fact about Pufferfish is that they have the ability to puff themselves up by ingesting large amounts of water or air, which makes them appear much larger and more threatening to predators.
