The ‘pufferfish’, also called blowfish, swellfish, globefish, balloonfish are fish making up the family Tetraodontidae, within the order Tetraodontiformes. They are named for their ability to inflate themselves to several times their normal size by swallowing water or air when threatened. The eyes and internal organs of most pufferfish are highly toxic. They can be found worldwide from about 45 degrees latitude north to 45 degrees latitude south, mostly in salt water near coral reefs or the shore, but some species also live in fresh water or brackish water.

Jellyfish are marine invertebrates. The body of an adult jellyfish is composed of a bell-shaped, jellylike substance enclosing its internal structure, from which the creature’s tentacles suspend. Each tentacle is covered with stinging cells that can stun or kill other animals. Most jellyfish use them to secure prey or as a defense mechanism. Most jellyfish are passive drifters that feed on small fish and zooplankton that become caught in their tentacles. Jellyfish have an incomplete digestive system, meaning that the same orifice is used for both food intake and waste expulsion.

The term crab is often applied to several different groups of short decapod crustaceans with thick exoskeletons, but only members of the Brachyura are true crabs. Other taxa, such as hermit crabs, porcelain crabs and king crabs are, despite superficial similarities, not crabs at all; rather, they belong to the Anomura and can be distinguished from true crabs by counting the legs. In Anomura, the last pair of walking legs is hidden inside the carapace, so only four pairs are visible (counting the claws), whereas uninjured true crabs always have five visible pairs.
