Puffer Fish

    What would you do if you were about to bite into a Big Mac and all of a sudden it grew twice as big!  That's what it's like for a fish who is about to eat a Puffer Fish.  Puffers can take air or water into their bodies.  They can blow themselves up so they're twice as big.  To the other fish, they look too big to bite into.  When the dinner has past, the Puffer lets out the air or water.  Then he swims around just like any other fish. 

    Sometimes this trick doesn't work.  Too bad for the fish who can't resist a Puffer Fish snack.  It will be his last dinner.  Puffers are the most poisonous fish in the world.  The poison can kill a person in 24 hours.  Still, some people in Japan love to eat Puffer Fish.  There are special cooks who try to take out all the poison parts.  If they miss any, the person dies.  Maybe it's better to stick to Big Macs.
