"Using laboratory mating experiments, we show that males use a high-precision bite that targets the female’s aorta to inject TTX at the start of copulation. Envenomating the females renders them immobile, enabling the males to mate successfully." 🤯

“Pufferfish contain potent & deadly toxins #tetrodotoxin and/or #saxitoxin which can cause severe illness & death. These central nervous system toxins are more deadly than cyanide.” Symptoms start 20 minutes to two hours within consumption and cooking can’t destroy the toxins.

Dolphins enjoy pufferfish as a recreational drug.
Pufferfish produce a tetrodotoxin - 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide - which, in small doses, gives dolphins a pleasurable buzz.

Sometimes named orange-bellied #newt, this species is #endemic to #California. Its adult length can range from 13 to 20 cm and its skin produces the potent #neurotoxin #tetrodotoxin, which is hundreds of times more #toxic than #cyanide.
