5. Archer fish

Just like the kids play with the “super “soaker water pistol, the archer fish uses this as a technique to catch its prey. His hunting method is unique and this fish even got its name from it. They start by floating near the surface of the water where they can find a lot of insects. It’s almost impossible for them to fail. The most interesting part about their hunting technique is the splash of water that comes from their mouth that goes straight to their target. Even if they miss at first, archer fish is very ambitious and won’t give up so easily. Also, they can eject seven streams of water all at once.

Archer fish can be found in South East Asia and Northern Australia, in brackish water habitats. It’s pretty cool that they’re one of the few animals in the wild that are using tools (water) to catch their prey.

6. Komodo dragon

Komodo dragons or otherwise called “land crocodiles” are huge creatures that can grow up to three meters long and 70 kilograms. It’s no wonder they’re the largest living lizards in the world. Pretty cool, right?

These beasts are carnivores and know for having a bad relationship with us, humans after several attacks have been recorded. However, the chance of seeing one in the wild is very low, as they live mostly in restricted areas in Indonesia, including Komodo, a national park where they can be spotted.

The komodos like to hunt in packs and they use their advanced camouflage skills, waiting patiently until the victim comes closer. They attack their prey by biting down the victim with their sharp teeth and claws. The komodos have venom glands full of toxins that cause the victim to bleed rapidly and sends the prey into shock. They like to eat the prey alive, tearing the flesh of the victim’s bones.

This technique rarely fails, and even if the prey miraculously escapes, the komodo dragon can follow the prey for miles as the venom takes over their bodies, and eventually, they are going to enjoy the delicious meal, because they’re very persistent.
