Hello, my fellow bloggers, to start welcome to my blog. My blog is going to be focusing on animal biology specifically, my favorite animal, the Fahaka Puffer fish! Yes, the animal off of SpongeBob Ms/ Puff. This species of animal is known as Tetraodon lineatus. This species of animal has always had a special place with me as a child watching SpongeBob SquarePants, seeing Mrs. Puff blow up to become twice as big. Watching the cartoon lit a flame inside of me to study more about this fascinating species called the Tetraodon lineatus. There are many amazing things this species is capable of doing. For example, Tetraodon lineatus will puff up to two to three times its size and release a toxin into the environment to ward off predators. That is just one of the fantastic capabilities I know this animal can do. After doing an extensive amount of research on the Tetraodon lineatus, I found that they live primarily in large freshwater environments such as rivers and open waters. There are many interesting things about Tetraodon lineatus, one I found quite interesting is their diet. The Tetraodon lineatus diet consists of insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. So yes, Mrs. Puff’s boyfriend, Mr. crabs, are a part of her daily diet.
