Also known as globefish, this fish can inflate water when it feels in danger, it can't move with this shape.
For this, the fish swallows the water, a membrane appears behind his teeth to avoid reflux.
The pufferfish becomes at this time much more difficult to eat, its skin also becoming very hard.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
