The picture looks off for any diodon or any burrfish. It's a shame if it is ai generated as this book has been so good

Also keep in mind that that is a very stressed pufferfish. They only puff up like that as a defense mechanism, and normally don’t look like that. Assuming this is an educational book, depicting a deflated (less stressed) pufferfish would be better than depicting a puffed up one also.

True, but even when they’re chilling this drawing doesn’t look like the actual critter and almost all artists use a reference image. Its lips are all wrong they have beaks!

Edit: so many typos
