If you travel the open ocean anywhere in the tropics, you are
very likely to see flyingfish. These beautifully colored "ocean
butterflies" shoot out of the water and sail on majestic, winglike
pectoral fins to escape from predators such as dolphins, swordfish,
and tuna. Some can travel for more than six hundred feet per
flight. Yet despite their prevalence in warm ocean waters and their
vital role in the tropical food chain, surprisingly little is known
about flyingfish--more than 60 species are said to exist, but
nobody is sure of the number. This beautifully illustrated book
presents flyingfish as you've never seen them before. It features
more than 90 stunning color photos by renowned naturalist Steve
Howell, as well as a concise and accessible text that explores the
natural history of flyingfish, where they can be found, how and why
they fly, what colors they are, what they eat and what eats them,
and more.
The ideal gift for fish lovers, seasoned travelers, and armchair
naturalists alike, this first-of-its-kind book provides a rare and
incomparable look at these spectacular marine creatures.Presents
