Long-spined Porcupinefish
I think this porcupinefish has not been threatened yet as its spines lie close to the body. So beware not to harm him before he turns into a big swollen spiny balloon!!! Take care and have a great day, my dear friends!!

The unique features of this fish give it protection against predators. When threatened, the long-spine porcupinefish will fill its body with air or water, which makes its body swell like a balloon. This makes it too large to fit into the predator’s mouth. Also when “inflated,” the spines all over its body are fully extended, making it even less of a desirable meal to the predator. Such a defense mechanism requires a flexible stomach, vertebrae, and sides. This structure could not have happened by chance, random processes, but was designed by the Creator.
