Definition
A type of pufferfish with a spiny or prickly body that resembles a burr.
Etymology
Compound of burr (prickly seedcase) + fish. Named for its distinctive spiky appearance similar to a burr, a common practice in describing animals based on physical features.
Kelly Says
These fish can inflate their bodies and their spines stick out like little burrs—it's nature's version of making yourself look bigger and scarier to predators!
