A friend sent me this short video about puffer fish spines. I thought it was cool, so I thought I'd pass it along to you guys!

That was interesting but it made me sad to see how many fish skeletons he had.

My understanding is that he collects all kinds of skeletons and specimens for research purposes. Wasn't sure if that was clear, so I thought I'd clarify (these aren't just skeletons from his fish tank).

Yes, I understood about him collecting for research but does he find the skeletons in the ocean, or does his research turn living fish into skeletons?

I'm not sure on that one. I do know he's got skeletons from other animals as well (based on a quick survey of his social media). I guess I was assuming he received them after the animals had passed. However, that's purely speculation as he's not someone I have followed (or knew about until the video was sent to me).
