Porcupine fish protect themselves through a unique defense mechanism: when threatened, they can inflate their bodies by swallowing water or air, significantly increasing their size. This inflation makes them more difficult for predators to consume. Additionally, their skin is covered in sharp spines, which provide an extra layer of deterrence against attacks. Together, these adaptations help the porcupine fish avoid predation in its marine environment.
