Tetraodon Puffer fish on brass stand
PU1144
This fish does not have a beak, of course, but its mouth looks strangely like a parrot’s beak! It is 4 large teeth welded 2 by 2. This Tetraodon lineatus of Indonesia munch on crustaceans and gastropods. Moreover, if he no longer ate crunchy food, his teeth would grow too much, up to preventing him from opening his mouth... Like all puffer fish, it can fill its esophagus with water to look more impressive.
