Claims about dolphins getting 'high' on pufferfish toxins are based on a single documentary, but scientific consensus is divided.

🔥Opinião polêmica:
  • Dolphins sharing pufferfish isn't a proven party, just fascinatingly weird behavior. 🤔
  • The idea of dolphins getting high is popular, but many scientists are skeptical. 🧪

Detalhamento da afirmação:

📝 Verificação: ✅ Correct! Pufferfish contain one of the most potent natural neurotoxins known, called tetrodotoxin (TTX). When they feel threatened or are attacked, they can release this toxin, which is stored in their skin and organs, as a defense mechanism. It works by blocking sodium channels in the nerves of a predator, leading to paralysis and often death.
