Pufferfish Popping

A pufferfish is soft, roundish-sluggish. Some even say slightly clownish. Seemingly an easy target... But when provoked it puffs up and flashes a set of sharp spines. If engulfed, it'll stick in the throat of its bullhorn aggressor. It's also highly toxic. When predators attempt to cancel it, they'll likely die in the process. If you hadn't noticed pufferfish are popping up everywhere. Sometimes I see a hint of a pufferfish in the mirror.
