A 8 inch pufferfish can suck in about 1 quart (1 liter) of water. This is like you drinking a tubful of water equal to your body size!

I bet they're not allowed free refills on sodas

Orbicular Batfish

© Photo By: Florida Aquarium

Batfish: a common name for several species of anglers. The numerous species live on the bottom, usually in shallow marine waters. The arm-like pectoral fins, thought by some to resemble bat wings, are used for walking along the bottom; batfish are poor swimmers. Ironically, in the Coral Reef Tank you typically find them swimming towards the surface
