Pufferfish Vs. Moray Eel
This four-foot moray eel washes up in the Cook Islands in the Pacific Ocean. A pufferfish swelled and became caught in the eel’s throat, killing the moray. This kind of fish has no natural predators since they are coated in toxic spikes, with the exception of sharks, who do not mind the presence of the poison. The following image is of a pufferfish skeleton, which shows how hazardous these fish can be to predators who try to consume them.

Pufferfish Skeleton
You’re looking at pufferfish spines, which are simply modified scales. It’s magnificent by just looking at the picture of the fish’s skeleton. What more if you’re looking at it in real life? They have the ability to puff up to two or three times their original size. Tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin found in most pufferfish, is 1200 times stronger than cyanide. In Japan, fugu is a delicacy made from pufferfish. Chefs must train for at least three years to prepare it.
