Visit the Melbourne Aquarium to see the latest residents in action. My favourite is the puffer fish, one of the most poisonous fish in the world. It will puff itself up to the shape of a balloon to scare off predators. Too bad they don’t cook them in the cafe, it will be interesting to find out what they taste like.

Other interesting animals include the stringrays, (have you ever sampled one?), sharks and tiny but poisonous frogs. These are some of the newest but deadly residents at the Melbourne Aquarium. They are part of the Extreme Fun exhibition coinciding with the school holidays.
