Puffer fish is known for having a anti-predation defensemechanism of having toxin-exuding spikes.
Are there predators which evolved specifically to prey on pufferfish? (presumably, by evolving immunity to the toxin)?
I know that sharks eat them, but I doubt sharks evolved to beimmune specifically to puffer fish toxin, since their evolutionarydevelopment preceded puffer fish's.
