How to fly squid

Squid flies because it doesn't fly forward like flying fish, but backward. When they come out of the water, their bodies jump backwards, with their eyes and tentacles behind them. The two large fleshy fins at the tail are fully unfolded, providing rising buoyancy and maintaining balance in the air.

British photographers photographed a strange squid in the Sea of Japan. They can jump 265,438+0 meters from the water like flying fish. Their jumping mechanism is interesting. Their bodies jump backwards, their eyes and tentacles are at the back, and their fins act as wings to keep balance in the air.

Flying Pacific squid Pacific squid, about 10cm long, jumped out of the sea to avoid predators. When a ship passes by, a vortex appears on the sea surface. This squid will think that there are predators lurking underwater and instinctively jump out of the sea surface. This squid is called "Pacific Plexus".

These photos were taken by Graham Ekins, a 60-year-old retired headmaster from Essex, England. He photographed the peculiar Pacific squid in Hainan. At first, he thought that these creatures that jumped out of the sea were fish, but when he took some photos, he realized that they were squid.

The Pacific pleated squid, about 10 cm long, jumped out of the sea to avoid predators. When a ship passes by on the sea, a whirlpool appears. This squid will think that there are predators lurking underwater and instinctively jump out of the sea. Akins is a flying Pacific pleated squid. He said that this kind of squid is often mistaken for flying fish. At first, I thought so.

I have retired and have plenty of time to travel around the world and take beautiful photos of wild animals. I'm glad to photograph this strange squid. They live in the sea area 0/000 km away from the Ogasawara Islands in the North Pacific Ocean. When threatened, about 20 squid groups will jump out of the water.
