This jackfish feeds on fish at night, we even saw it attack a moray eel with a group of about 3 individuals.
Because of its color, this jackfish is very beautiful and is easily distinguished from other species.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
