2. PorcupinefishPorcupinefish are fish of the family Diodontidae,, also commonly called blowfish. They are sometimes called pufferfish. Porcupinefish are medium to large sized fish, and are found in shallow temperate and tropical seas worldwide.

Porcupinefish have the ability to inflate their body by swallowing water or air, thereby becoming rounder.
