对人的危险: 严重如果有人吃了它,要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。它害怕时会做什么?
When threatened, it swallows water to inflate its body to a larger size, raises its spines, and relies on tetrodotoxin stored in its organs to deter predators.1
注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。

事实
It can inflate itself by swallowing water, making its body much larger to scare off predators.1
It stores tetrodotoxin in its liver, skin, gonads and other organs, so it is harmful to eat.1
Juveniles live in open water, floating in the sea until they reach about 20 cm long.1
Adults are solitary, except during the mating season, and are most active at sunset and sunrise.1
Its liver often holds cysts from a parasite, but these pose no danger to humans.1
