Believe it or not a flying fish

Hello people

Have u ever heard about a flying fish!!!

Well …

Last night I was surfing the Internet and I found out that flying fish really exist.

This creature is amazing it can swim and whenever it feels that it is in danger it flies out of the water to run away from the beasts that’s following it.

The fish is called Exocoetidae aptly known as flying fish, Flying fish are found in all of the major oceans, particularly in the warm tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Their most striking feature is their pectoral fins, which are unusually large, and enable the fish to hide and escape from predators, by leaping out of the water, taking short glided flights through air just above the water’s surface. Their glides are typically around 50 m (160 ft), but they can use updrafts at the leading edge of waves to cover distances of at least 400 m (1,300 ft)

The fish speed can reach 70km/h

here is the video shooted by a crew member on board:

Here are some pictures of that fish:

Humans have explored less than 2% of the ocean floor, and discover dozens of new species of deep sea creatures with every dive.
so who knows maybe there is another world down there living like us .
