    PUFFERS

    General:
    Puffers are found in almost all oceans worldwide.
    On all tropical continents except Australia, some species have become true freshwater fish.

    Biology:
    Most species are highly specialized predators of snails or fish, which they can crush with their beaklike teet.
    Some species provide parental care.

    Note>If danger threatens, puffers can blow themselves up with water.
