How many times can a pufferfish inflate in its lifetime

When it comes to puffer fish, everyone is familiar with it. We all know that puffer fish is poisonous, but the delicious meat of puffer fish is loved by many people. As we all know, puffer fish will puff up when they are angry or in danger, and the small spines on their skin will stand up. Generally, puffer fish can only puff up seven times in their lifetime, because each time they puff up, they consume their energy.

I have been able to fry since I was a child.

There are about 120 species of pufferfish in the world. They generally live in tropical and subtropical marine waters, and some can live in fresh water. When they are not angry, afraid, or threatened, their bodies are long and their heads are shaped like a bag.

Pufferfish come in a variety of sizes, with some growing to nearly a meter in length and others as tiny as 2.5 centimeters. They are scaleless fish, which means they do not have scales on their bodies. Sometimes the pointy spines you see are actually their skin.

Pufferfish can "blow up" themselves with water or air. If pufferfish encounter a big devil in the water, they will inhale a lot of water to inflate themselves; if they encounter a big devil in the air, such as a heron, they will use air to inflate themselves.

So how do pufferfish get puffed up?

It is divided into 2 steps.

When pufferfish are frightened, such as by seeing your face, they first dislocate their jaw so that their mouth can open extra wide. They can then take in 37 gulps of water in about 15 seconds.

What do you think? The baby’s stomach can become so big. Are you afraid? Are you scared?

Then the pufferfish will officially enter the expansion stage. Pufferfish have no ribs and their skin and stomach are very elastic, so at this time they can close their mouths and let the water flow into their stomachs. Their stomachs will "duang duang duang" and expand to 3 or 4 times their usual size. You will see a bloated pufferfish and think it looks cute when it's angry.

When the pufferfish turns into a sphere, its deterrence increases by 100 points, but its mobility decreases by 100 points.
