Tropical Two-wing Flyingfish
Exocoetus volitans
熱帶大洋表層的空中滑翔者。胸鰭短小,能在水面激發後展翅凌空滑翔数十公尺。
An aerial glider of the tropical pelagic zone, launching out of the waves with short pectoral wings.
飛魚並不是在空中拍打翅膀飛行,而是靠尾鰭在水面下如螺旋槳般高速拍動提供推力,再藉由寬大胸鰭當作機翼滑翔。
Flyingfish do not flap their wings in the air; they taxi across the surface using rapid tail propellor strokes before gliding.
尚無潛點紀錄。
