These fish are a part of the Exocoetidae family, and there are more than 40 species of them that exist in the ocean.

There are many unique creatures that exist around us. While some live on land, others are found inside the ocean. There are thousands of species of fish and sea animals that live inside it. These sea creatures can be as big as a whale, and some of them are as tiny as small fish. The ocean is home to an abundance of unique creatures that are still beyond the reach of humans. One such creature in the ocean is the flying fish. They are also known as flying cod. They are famous for coming out of the water and flying in the air. Flying fish are one of the most unique creatures in the sea. Flying fish can fly hundreds of feet in the air. Although it does not flap its wings like birds, it jumps out of the water in the air. They have a unique type of fin that helps them come out of the sea. They are mostly found deep inside the ocean. Their fins help them jump around 650 feet above the surface of the water. These fins also help them to swim quickly inside the sea, whenever they encounter a predator.

The body of a flying fish is blue, black, white, and silver in colour. It is an omnivorous fish that can be 15 cm to 51 cm long and can weigh up to 900 grams. These fish are a part of the Exocoetidae family, and there are more than 40 species of them that exist in the ocean. But in recent times, these species have been in danger of extinction as human fishing has been on the rise.

These flying fish swim towards the surface of the water at a speed of 3 feet per second. Before taking flight, they flap their tails rapidly, about 70 times a second, and keep their wings close to their bodies. After this, as soon as they come out of the water surface, they spread their wings and then start flying in the air.

Recently, a video of the fish has been going viral on social media. The clip was uploaded on the microblogging platform X.
