The barracuda lives near the coast, between the shallow and 100 foot deep even though it can go lower.
It's a great carnivorous predator who uses his elongated body to jump on his prey.
It's a solitary species, although they can regroup when they are young. It's also a very curious species that can follow a diver for several meters.
This fish can reach 38 miles / h when hunting for prey.
His life expectancy is around 15 years.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
