Porcupinefish are known for their ability to inflate their bodies by swallowing water, making them appear larger and intimidating predators. They have sharp spines that protrude when inflated, serving as a defense mechanism. Porcupinefish are also capable of producing a toxin called tetrodotoxin, which is found in their skin and internal organs, making them poisonous to predators.
