🔬 物种简介
飞鱼拥有超大的胸鳍，受到威胁时能跃出水面，以约60 km/h的速度借助胸鳍在空中滑翔，最远可达400米。这种行为是逃避鲨鱼、旗鱼等掠食者的进化策略。在加勒比海巴巴多斯，飞鱼是国家象征。
Wikipedia
The Exocoetidae are a family of saltwater ray-finned fish in the order Beloniformes, known colloquially as flying fish or flying cod, with about 64 species in seven genera. While they do not "fly" in the same way a bird does, flying fish can make powerful leaps out of the water where their long, wing-like paired fins act as aerofoils to generate lift and enable prolonged gliding for considerable distances above the water surface. The main reason for this behavior is thought to be to escape from underwater predators, which include swordfish, mackerel, tuna, and marlin, among others, though their periods of flight expose them to attack by aerial predators such as frigatebirds.
