Flying Fish have the remarkable ability to build up speed, leap out of the water, and glide through the air, sometimes at distances of more than a thousand feet with the right tailwind, to escape their predators.

Flying fish actually do not have the ability to fly like birds, but they leap into the air and glide for short distances.
