The pufferfish aka blowfish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on the planet (after the golden arrow dart frog). They contain a neurotoxin, called tetrodoxin, throughout their body including their skin, muscle tissue, liver, kidneys, and gonads. The tetrodotoxin is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than that of cyanide.
