They use these specialized teeth to crush the shells of mollusks and crustaceans, which are their natural sources of food. Many parts of the puffer fish, such as the skin, ovaries, muscles, and liver, have a very potent and paralyzing poison known as tetrodotoxin, which is around thousand times more deadly than cyanide. •Once the body of the puffer fish is fully extended, its predators can neither grip its body nor bite through the skin
