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.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
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.)
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
