First, puffer fish are poisonous, so if one is eaten, its predator dies, preventing that predator from reproducing. Secondly, if threatened, they can inflate themselves, expanding in size and pointing their spines outward. This startles predators and hurts them if the predator still tries to bite the pufferfish.

Puffer fishes are the second most poisonous vertebrate in the world. They have spikes on their bodies to protect them from predators.
