Fascinating Archerfish! • • Archerfish are known for their habit of preying on land-based insects and other small animals by shooting them down with water droplets from their specialized mouths or jumping out of the water. • • They are remarkably accurate in their shooting and can bring down their prey up to 3 m (10 ft) above the water's surface. • • They compensate for the refraction of light as it passes through the air-water interface when aiming and typically spit at prey at a mean angle of about 74° from the horizontal but can still aim accurately when spitting at angles between 45° and 110°. • • This footage was taken in our mangroves in the rear lagoon where we have a resident community of Archerfish. • • Amazing! • • 🎥 @hizuwizu • • • #WorldsRichestReefs #Animals #NatureLovers #ParadiseIsland #Diving #Scuba #Snorkelling #Tauchen #Schnorcheln #Underwater #SeaCreature #VisitIndonesia #WestPapua #UnderWaterworld #SaveOurSeas #Travel #Explore #PhotoOfTheDay #BeautifulDestinations #WeLiveToExplore #UnderwaterPhoto #WildLifePhotography #HeavenOnEarth #MarineBiology
