Squid can fly Squid can in fact fly out of the water in order to escape their predators.

Sometimes they are mistaken for flying fish, but can propel themselves out of their water with a jet power. It is squirted through the body like a water gun.

Experts think that many species of marine life are doing this now to escape the clutches of predators.

Researchers are working on finding out more information about squid aerodynamics.

squid use a kind of jet power. Water is squirted at great pressure out of a nozzle on the squid’s body. At times the squid can swim so fast that it may pop out of the water and glide through the air. A squid may fly for 100 feet or more before it splashes back into the water.
