Flying fish are a unique group of fish known for their ability to glide above the water's surface. They have specially adapted fins that allow them to leap out of the water and soar through the air for distances of up to 200 meters. This adaptation helps them escape predators in the ocean. There are about 70 species of flying fish, primarily found in warm ocean waters. They typically have a streamlined body and large pectoral fins, which they use to catch the wind and glide. Flying fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem and serve as food for various predators, including birds and larger fish.
