Flying Fish Picked Off From Above And Below | The Hunt | BBC Earth

- Flying fish can make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of water into air, where their long, wing-like fins enable gliding flight for considerable distances. It appears these Flying Fish are in a no win situation, picked off above the surface by Frigatebird's and devoured underwater by the Dorado.

I think the flying fish has all the rights to say life is unfair.
indeed
@Munia s
At least they enjoy a while, and surely better than those who hunt for them. But I suspect strongly that this reportage is false or pendent to give us a distorted idea. I believe flying fishes do fly even for joy. Exactly as in few seconds in the beginning, with the allegedly simulated predator. No doubt that film montage is a subjective management. Who know how much time those fishes spend in flying in delight and how much in escaping predators? And even in this case how they feel?
A ski rider also is pressed by gravity but could enjoy, and some jet pilot liked fighting.
Let's watch Mobula Rays high jumps, and dolphins ones: even captured and slave for visitors fun, in free time they sometime jump.

Fish lives matter
Poor guys, hunted from below and above. They flew so beautifully.
Ikr I feel bad for them
yes!
That's nature
If the birds fly too close to the water they get eaten too sometimes by even bigger fish. And those fish get eaten by sharks and killer whales. Nature is red in tooth and claw. And people want to remove humans from the planet in order to preserve the sublime horror of this balance why?

So sad they have so much predators. What beautiful creatures. The animals in the ocean really adopt not by the environment but by the predators.
Struggle forced an organism to adapt, adaption will eventually lead to evolution. We are organism are build to learn, to adapt, to overcome. Don't be afraid of anything, remember, our DNA had survived global extinction events multiple times, we build tough.
@@default8274 Yeah its scary that there have been times where modern humans have been whittled down to so little by disasters, and our ancestors suffered the same, with lower global populations, at one point its like there was like what, 10,000 people left on earth pre-civilization?
Imagine if they evolved for long distance and evasive flight but had to dive occasionally to breathe. Becoming a counterpart to mammalian sea animals who have to surface to take a breath.

Not so, think birds are everywhere flying fish are? Its a rare sight but does occasionally happen, yet that they're not on the exctinction list as cod & salmon etc after 245 million yrs shows how being able to have more than one way to escape a larger fish is to fly, birds aren't around the oceans everywhere no more than the 240-65 million yr ago pterosaurs, they're the most adaptive modern fish & I would rather have two choices than one, even if by some odd coincidence some birds were flying nearby & saw, they didn't catch all the fish or even most so its still the best meathod of survival for a fish, some large fish jump out of rivers in America, its basically the same thing but the large American jumpers can't fly & might end up in someones boat or smashing someone in the face, better flying fish! 🐟

I remember being a kid and seeing for the first time a flying fish back in my island's home town, i could not believe what i was seeing. I nagged my parents that day for an animal kingdom encyclopaedia to learn more about this fish and others. Did you know the hippocampus aka seahorse shares the same name as our brain's hippocampus?! What was named first, the brain part or the fish?
The name hippocampus in Greek means horse monster. So we can safely assume the brain part was named after the fish.
I was always fascinated by how the seahorse reproductive roles were reversed, with the male being impregnated with the female's eggs and would carry them to birth
Which island
It makes me sad to think of what must be going on in their heads as they realise they have nowhere to go now. Also, the production team did an amazing job filming all this. The clip was amazing.

Look how in this video how graceful it is when you see the flying fish jumping out of the water gliding and gently landing in the water with a little splash.

Next evolution for the flying fish: teleport
@green fox like what?
don’t forget if they could teleport when born, a baby flying fish may teleport back to where it came from because they can’t control the teleportation and only can teleport to places they have already been.
Or just simply live in the reefs.. why bother living in open ocean where you are the only foods there.. in the reef there are so many fish around, you could get lucky if predator eat another small fish
These creatures are going to take over our earth if we don't eat them.......as we busy raging wars against each countries need to unite one world

@@violent_bebop9687 Because even if this looks bad, it's probably their worst moments. There are other fishes that don't have the option to fly. There won't always be birds in the sky and water predators at the same time. Also they will not always be the only option for the water predators to follow.
It's like showing videos of humans at war and asking, "Why are they not extinct?"

Yes man
I've traveled as a chef on yachts and our decks were lit by low lights & in the morning, sadly, there would always be dead flying fish all over the deck, most likely trying to get away from all the predators that are always on the hunt for them. They are beautiful fish in flight. After I finished in the galley, would go topside and watch the dolphin playing in our bow wave, and before retiring for the night I would go aft to see the flying fish in the moonlight and count the seconds as they took to flight and stop counting as they collapsed their wing fins and reentered the water. This was what helped me unwind from a full days work. I also did my helm (watch) time, even though I didnt have to as I had a lot of other duties on board. I acted as ships nurse & where I was the only one that knew how to sew, and I don't faint at the sight of blood, so I was appointed to be the ships surgeon if the need ever arose, thankfully it wasn't necessary. There's so much beauty out on the ocean, but I've seen the other side as well, it can humble even the strongest & bravest man in seconds. The sea can be formidable! I am still on a vessel, a sailing vessel, & God has been so good to me. I've visited so many countries, met so many wonderful people & seen so many different types of dolphin playing on bow waves. I've lived a blessed life on the water & got through some frightening times as well, I know God was protecting me, He's my constant companion & for that I'm truly humbly grateful. 🙏👍🙌🕊🙆♀️🙋♀️
Flying fish are a delicacy.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I'm just a little bit envious. You should write a blog or a book about your life on the ocean. Can flying fish be eaten? Did you ever try to cook the ones that you found on your deck?
I love fried flying fish. And also when they are cooked seviche style. Yum
