The starry pufferfish is the largest of the tetraodontidae.
This animal is solitary and quite shy, so it's not easy to get close.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
