Puffer fish bites off diver's finger

[bilsant]

Thanks Farside. Noprob.

And thank you for the video link, Diver 85.

Vinegarbiscuit, I don't know which is more interesting...that the fish knew to go for exposed flesh or that your fiance Captain knew enough - presumably from experience - to tell everyone to keep their hands out of the water.

Thanks

bilsant----here's a link to the video of the pufferfish attack......think you hear the finger crack @ the end, but maybe just the camera being moved around....

That's no puffer attack... that's a Darwin award wannabe in action!
Good grief!
For those not willing to learn how to safely interact with critters, the "never touch anything" approach is best. There are many critters that can be touched in mutually pleasant ways, but if you go around kissing strangers you can expect to get slapped.

I have always enjoyed watching fools get exactly what they deserve.

As another SB member's sig line says: "Stupidity should be painful!"
