Congo puffing

Post by puffykid »

Hi guys remember me at all? I've been really busy with life and what not and haven't really had time to post. But my congo puffer who I decided to name bento was just sitting on his log watching me as usual, when he suddenly just decided to puff up. Fortunately I was able to get a picture of him before he deflated.

Neat!
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.

haha, the funniest part of the whole thing is that we're pretty sure he was puffing for attention besides just testing out that he could puff. Cause me and my gf were just sitting on the bed in the room watching tv when we saw him suck in water and blow up like in the picture. As evidence that he does it for attention is that he's puffed multiple times in front of us this was just the first time we were fast enough with the camera = p
