Ferocious Puffer -
Its common name comes from its unprovoked attacks on people. It has been known to bite off the toes of swimmers.

That is my kind of fish :ROFL2: Just look at how long it's head is, I bet that thing has a very impressive set of pharyngeal teeth.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

It really didn't seem to concerned with those divers but did face that one with the camera when he got to close. He should probably consider himself lucky he didn't get bit.

Excellent find! Thank you for sharing!
