Real-world information[edit]
The blowfish in the Animal Crossing series represents the species Takifugu rubripes in real life, where it is often called the tiger puffer or Japanese puffer. The name blowfish is a generic name for any species of puffer fish. It is notable as the second vertebrate to have its genome sequenced. The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey.
