What’s Inside A Puffer Fish?

Pufferfish are best known for their ability to inflate like a balloon. But if you peer inside, you typically won’t find air. You’ll find water, not to mention an accordion-like stomach, a unique set of muscles for pumping, and a poison that’s up to 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide.

While fugu might be delicious, I think the fact that we eat it is more a sign of how stubborn humans are. The more we're not allowed to have something the more we want it.
