Baby Puffer Fish
Whoever’s seen the famous TV show Spongebob Squarepants knows all about the way pufferfish operate. Or at least a little bit. Most of the pufferfish species are toxic and are some of the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. This fish has some unique natural defenses to fend off any predators. Its tail can be used for a sudden evasive burst of speed to get away from danger and if that fails, it can fill its elastic stomach with water (or air when it’s outside the water) until it’s larger and spherical in shape.
Baby Walrus
The large flippered marine animal starts out as just as adorable in its youth as all the other baby animals on this list. As an adult, these animals can end up impressively large. An adult male walrus in the Pacific can grow up to weigh over 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds). Walruses typically live in shallow waters above the continental shelves and spend most of their lives on the sea ice looking for benthic bivalve mollusks to eat.
