flying fish

in busy •  7 years ago 

Although not flying like a bird, flying fish can glide in the air up to 50 m. They glide through the air by banging their tails into the water and flapping up to 70 times / sec, and stretching their wide fins like wings. Usually they fly into the air to avoid predators. They can even fly farther by following the wind.
