fish that can fly / fish harbang

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

Exocoetidae, commonly called Flying Fish or in Aceh known as Harbang fish are fish families that are named for their ability to emerge out of the water and glide up remotely with their pectoral fins outstretched. Their slender shape like a torpedo, helping them gather enough underwater speed to break the surface, and their fins like wings get airborne. Once in the air, these fish can glide over a short distance away.
according to my observations.
Flights or rather the launch they are usually about 50 meters, but some fish have been recorded to fly up to 200 meters or more. Several species of flying fish has pelvic fins of their pectoral fins, which allows them to fly farther (up to 400 meters), and the maneuverability is much greater. These fish are known as the four-winged flying fish.

But actually this fish is not really cutting, but he does a very fast slide with his wings, so he can be pushed out of water to survive the attack of predators.

Come to think of it, great fish that used to live in water can hover in the air. By the way, anyone knows how these fish fly and do they really fly like birds? I ever looked this fish at Indosiar @curiesea

50-400 meters, very high it, if the launch is right towards us it seems dead is made
