Safari Ltd. Flying Fish measures 5.45" L x 5.95" W x 1.45" H
Flying fish are characterized by their streamlined bodies, large pectoral fins, and forked tails. They can reach speeds of up to 37 miles per hour (60 kilometers per hour) underwater, and can leap out of the water and glide through the air for distances of up to 655 feet (200 meters).
The purpose of flying fish's ability to fly is to escape from predators such as larger fish, dolphins, and tuna. Flying fish are also preyed upon by seabirds, so their aerial acrobatics can help them evade these predators as well.
Flying fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem, serving as a source of food for many predators. They are also of interest to fishermen, who catch them for food and for use as bait.
