Most stickleback fish living in the ocean have heavy armor in the form of bony plates and spines projecting from the back and pelvis. These plates are a two-sided pelvic girdle consisting of four elements: the anterior process, ascending branch, posterior process, and pelvic spine. When threatened, a stickleback can simultaneously flare out its pair of pelvic spines and three dorsal spines (Grand, 2000). This increases the diameter and repels compression from the predator’s jaws; making it difficult
