“Unveiling the Ocean’s Deadly Secrets: 15 Creatures You Never Knew Could End Your Adventure!”
10. Pufferfish
Pufferfish are the ultimate in ocean defense. When threatened, they puff up to several times their normal size, exposing sharp spines loaded with tetrodotoxin, a toxin that’s 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide. There’s no antidote, and it’s potent enough to kill an adult human.
In Japan, some species of pufferfish are considered a delicacy, but they must be prepared by licensed chefs who know how to handle the deadly parts. One wrong bite, and this “delicacy” could be your last.
