4About it
A pufferfish is a slow swimmer with a clever defense: when it is frightened, it gulps water and swells up into a ball several times its normal size, and in many kinds, spines stand out all over it. That makes it very hard for a hungry fish to swallow. Many pufferfish are also poisonous to eat.
This one rests slim. Tap it to poke it: it puffs up into a big, spiky ball, holds it, then lets the water out with a sputter and shrinks back. Try the Puff slider in the Splash tab too. With ✋ Hands-on on, press on it or pick it up and it puffs up into a spiky ball and stays puffed while you hold it; let go and it waits, then slowly lets the water out.
