The Puffer Fish Is Also Known As The Takifugu And Dogfish. | #Shorts #interestingfacts

A fugu is a small fish, usually the size of a palm. There are no scales on the body of the puffer, but its skin is covered with needles-thorns of various lengths. There is another well-known feature of the puffer fish, which is very often played out in pop culture: when danger approaches, it inflates into a ball, increasing in size by about three times ...
The body of fugu accumulates a very dangerous chemical called tetrodotoxin, for which there is no antidote. This poison is about 1000 times more toxic than cyanide and is a neurotoxin - it blocks the channels between the body and the brain, damaging the nervous system. As a result, paralysis occurs, the lungs and heart fail, and the animal or person who has been in contact with the poison dies within a few minutes.
