This puffer fish is the second most venomous vertebrate on the planet. Slow moving, it defends itself with rapid inflation and spines. If that isn't enough, its skin contains a powerful toxin. Ingestion of this fish would lead to a predator's certain death. One puffer fish contains enough toxin to kill up to 30 grown men. It is a welcome sight for divers looking for a photograph, but they are wise to keep a respectful distance.
