Does a blow fish have fur or skin?
Firstly remember that FISH HAVE SCALES!!!I don't think it would be a fish if it had fur or skin. Blow fish have scales, but also have many spikes across their body. These spikes are a form of defence, other fish are not so keen to eat something that would scratch on their throat and mouths!!! Hope this helps.
What will happen if you pet a shark?
Sharks have razor-like scales on their skin; your hand may start bleeding if you touch it the wrong way.ANS2:Nurse sharks rather enjoy being stroked. They will stop swimming and lay on the bottom like a large, fat, wet cat. (Actually, they are a lot calmer than a wet cat.) Their scales are rough, like sandpaper, when stroked from tail to head but they don't cause any particular damage to your skin. When stroked from head to tail the scales are smooth and the skin feels like very smooth rubber.Their scales may be sharp as razors but they are miniscule and so close together that the skin only feels rough.
Why do fish have scales and not fur?
Because if fish had fur then the fur would get wet and weigh them down and they wouldn't be able to swim very well. Scales help them move swiftly in the water and give them an armor-like outer covering.
