Flying Fish: Nature's Gliding Marvels

Flying fish (Exocoetidae) are fascinating marine creatures found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Known for their ability to leap out of the water and glide for distances up to 400 meters (1,300 feet), they use their wing-like pectoral fins to escape predators like tuna and marlin. Impressively, they can reach speeds of over 70 km/h (43 mph) and heights of 6 meters (20 feet) above the water's surface.

These ocean acrobats have inspired human creativity, from the design of the Exocet missile to their role as a symbol of Barbados, known as "the land of the flying fish." In Japan, their roe, called tobiko, is a delicacy used in sushi, adding yet another layer to their cultural significance!
