Flying Squid

Written by

in

Squid swim by pulling water into their mantle, then forcefully jetting it out the center of their body.

That same jet can propel them into the air, where they spread their tentacles to create wings to glide on.

In flight, squid can reach speeds comparable to motorboats and glide for 50 meters.
