Imagine you’re a little fish in the ocean and a much
bigger fish is coming at you fast. You think you can
get away, but suddenly this dull gray-blue fish changes
colors in a flash. Now it’s light blue with bright yellow
stripes. Before you can even understand what’s
happening, you’re dinner. The sailfish isn’t simply one
of the fastest fish in the ocean—it also changes colors
instantly to confuse its prey. Good luck, fish!
More About Sailfish
Sailfish live in warmer waters in oceans all around the
world. They are also known as billfish because they have
long, sword-like bills that they use when hunting. Their
dorsal fins, or the fins on their backs, look like a sail,
which is where they get their name. They change colors
when excited, such as when they are hunting.
