Milk-spotted Puffer

Found singly, or in small schools, over mudflats and sandy areas of estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, rivers and along edges of coastal shorelines, often entering freshwater areas.

The bodies of Pufferfish are covered in a toxic mucus, if the skin or flesh is consumed it can be fatal to humans.
When threatened they will puff up like a football to deter predators.
This Pufferfish can give a nasty bite!
