Description
Striped burrfish is a pufferfish with a striking appearance. Like other members of the Chilomycterus family, striped burrfish has the ability to inhale the surrounding water in order to look more menacing to other animals and too big for a predator to swallow. It's a solitary, nocturnal fish with a few predators, thanks to its distinctive defensive mechanisms.
