Flying Fish Picked Off From Above And Below | 4K UHD | The Hunt | BBC Earth

Flying fish can make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of water into air, where their long, wing-like fins enable gliding flight for considerable distances. It appears these Flying Fish are in a no win situation, picked off above the surface by Frigatebirds and devoured underwater by the Dorado.

When I was young, back in the 50's, and 60's. I use to watch every National Geographic Film. Unfortunately I cannot sfford to pick up the Channel. Thank Goodness for the BBC, David Attenbuoro. To this day it is fascinating, and such a Joy; to watch the BBC. My many Thanks!!

[@authenticapparel1906]

I will never understand how they get such good footage

[@mspacific1550]

Generally it's lots of different shootings over a period of days, weeks or months spliced together to make it look like one seamless moment.

The producers usually spent their whole life filming, one docu takes years to completely film.

I saw an interview where they said it took months of waiting and watching to get one scene. Truly the greatest tv show ever

[@jametalboy]

One crucial lesson for all of us...DONT THINK THAT YOUR LIFE IS HARD...such an intense clip with awesome music & I never knew that there is a fish that can fly... Seems like a science fiction movie but it's reality that it can fly...and as always... Well narrated by David Attenborough

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

They’re absolutely amazing, but can we also talk about how gorgeous that other fish is??? 😱

[@Southern_Taurus_]

Mahi aka dolphinfish, some places they’re called dorado. They’re actually the fastest growing fish as well. Male Mahi-Mahi (often referred to as “bulls”) have a much more pronounced flat, almost 90° forehead, whereas female “cows” have more of a rounded, tapered head.

We have them in abundance in the waters off Tobago, even Barbados, during the months Dec-March. II's a wonderful to see them flying in great numbers when sailing or fishing between Trinidad and Tobago on the north coast. And they taste nice, especially when freshly caught.

[@BXC1990]

I've seen them while on the ferry from Trinidad to Tobago. Thought I was seeing things.

Here too in southern California. I remember seeing them for the first time as a kid when we took the ferry to Catalina island. Amazing 🙂
