'''Pufferfish''' are a distinctive family of tropical and sub-tropical marine fish, also known as blowfish. It is called the puffer fish because when it is threatened, it puffs up to about twice its normal size by gulping [[water]]. In this engorged state, the puffer fish can swim at only about half its normal speed.
