the puffer fish has an extremely weird adaption but it is 100% true. when the puffer fish gets scared it puffs up and takes about 30 dumps while swimming away. the puffer fish does this because the dump it takes will change colors confusing the predator and this makes the predator usually give up!

∙ 12y agoPuffer fish other wise known as testorostone (in latin meaning spiky fish), nibble on the shark skin, as a form of teasing, BUT, they puff up. And it scares the shark. It lets out a toxin called lestiterone. This keeps the predator away. This is a form of adaptation. IF A HUMAN EATS A PUFFER FISH THEY WILL DIE.
