This remarkable fish is famous worldwide for its dramatic ability to inflate. Meet the Hedgehog Fish. When it inflates, it puffs up and becomes covered in spines, a bluff that startles would-be predators. Its little smiling face is shown in a light brown hue with a small dot.
These fish can increase their size in seconds, raising their thorns to defend against attacks. They are eaten in Japan, but only with extreme caution—this species contains a deadly poison.
