Antique Porcupinefish Natural Taxidermy Specimen
About the Item
A rare and unusual antique marine natural taxidermy specimen of a Porcupinefish. Belonging to the Diodontidae family, Tetraodontiformes order, commonly referred to as blowfish, and closely related to the adorable inflating puffer fish, but with a secondary defense mechanism of sharp spines which radiate outward when inflated.
This well preserved exotic specimen is stuffed and mounted rising over a simple wooden base.
