Atlantic flyingfish

The Atlantic flyingfish (''Cheilopogon melanurus'') is a flying fish in the family Exocoetidae. It was first described by the French zoologist, Achille Valenciennes in a 22-volume work entitled ''Histoire naturelle des poissons'' (Natural History of Fish), which was a collaboration with fellow zoologist, Georges Cuvier.
==Description==

Like many other flyingfishes, the Atlantic flyingfish has a cylindrical body, and large tail and pectoral fins that it uses for flight. To fly, the Atlantic flyingfish jumps out of the water, uses its pectoral fins to catch air currents and provide lift, and beats its tail back and forth to provide thrust. The longest recorded individual was 32 cm long,〔Cervigón, F., R. Cipriani, W. Fischer, L. Garibaldi, M. Hendrickx, A.J. Lemus, R. Márquez, J.M. Poutiers, G. Robaina and B. Rodriguez 1992 Fichas FAO de identificación de especies para los fines de la pesca. Guía de campo de las especies comerciales marinas y de aquas salobres de la costa septentrional de Sur América. FAO, Rome. 513 p. Preparado con el financiamento de la Comisión de Comunidades Europeas y de NORAD.〕 but most adults are roughly 25 cm long.〔 Atlantic flyingfish are generally green to blue dorsally, and white or silver ventrally.〔 After reaching a speed of 30 km/h,〔 Atlantic flyingfish can jump out of the water and glide about 3 to 12 m.〔 This is presumably done to avoid ocean-going predators.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/printable/flying-fish.html )
