Puffer Fish By Alexa

There are more than 120 species of Puffer fish. The poison from the Puffer fish can kill 30 adult humans.

Some Puffer fish live in fresh water, but most live in coral reefs. They also live in tropical marine waters, including the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.

Puffer fish eat hard food like corals, sea urchins and shell fish.

Some Puffer fish are shaped like a football and they are about the size of a banana. Their mouth looks like a beak and they have thick skin. Most of the Puffer fish are small, but they also have a large head. They can reach over 3 feet long.

Puffer Fish look very gentle, but if they get angry or scared they puff up and can be very dangerous.
