The Barracuda: Sphyraena barracuda
Sphyraena barracuda is a long, slender, predaceaous marine fish with small scales, a large mouth with fanglike teeth, and a protruding lower jaw. The tail fin is forked, and the two dorsal fins are widely separated. Barracuda are found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific ocens. Smaller species swim in schools, but larger species are solitary. This is the famous Smokey the Barracuda, seen on the cover of skin diver magazine many times. Smokey used to circle us counterclockwise and we would feed him by sticking fish in our mouth which he would snatch out very quickly, with no harm to us.
Barracuda are found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. Although barracuda attacks on humans are rare, they are feared by swimmers in some places, due to its speed, agility, and long teeth. The great barracuda can swim up to 35 mph, yet it can move forward slowly with no apparent effort; thus increasing its stealth.
