Flying fish

Flying fish is a term used to describe some species of marine fish in the family Exocoetidae, in the order Beloniformes class Actinopterygii. Of course, they can’t fly just like birds, but they can actually make powerful leaps out of the water. After this process, their fins that look like wings enable gliding for long distances above the surface of the water.

Just like any other animal with a defense mechanism, they have developed this superpower to get rid of predators, including mackerel, tuna, swordfish, marlin and so on. Unfortunately, while flying, most of them end up being eaten by birds, such as frigate birds. This type of fish can live in all oceans, mostly in tropical and warm subtropical waters.
