Some animals run, some learn to hide, some change colors, some grow horns and some even become fish out of water. The flying fish is an example of an animal that struggles for survival. It does not fly just for fun. Most of the time, it is fleeing from the cruel jaws of a shark or tuna fish which is giving it a chase. However, if it is not lucky enough and makes a mistake of landing on the deck of a nearby vessel, it may end up in the hands of a sailor instead of in the jaws of a shark. Either way, it gets killed. Although the safety of a flying fish lies in its wings, we are uncertain of the way it springs from the water. It moves rapidly, mostly for smalt distances.
