傳聞了數十年的非洲虎魚從水中躍吞噬飛鳥. 跳躍和捕捉飛行中的燕子, 整個動作如此令人難以置信的快.
Apparently rumours have been circulating for decades of the African tiger fish leaping from the water to snatch birds out of the air. With these freshwater fish growing up to a metre in length, sporting a set of vicious-looking teeth, and being known for their aggressive behaviour and tendency to hunt in groups, they certainly have an extreme enough reputation. However, researchers hadn't given these anecdotes much credit until now.



The vicious set of teeth sported by the African tigerfish are likely the source of its name.A team from the Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management at North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa, was studying the tiger fish at Mapungubwe National Park's Schroda Dam, when they captured the above footage of one of the fish leaping from the water to make a meal of a barn swallow.
"The whole action of jumping and catching the swallow in flight happens so incredibly quickly that after we first saw it, it took all of us a while to really fully comprehend what we had just seen," said Nico Smit, who led the team, according to Nature. "The first reaction was one of pure joy, because we realized that we were spectators to something really incredible and unique."
Apparently, this was just one of the 20 such mid-air strikes the team saw each day they were in the area.

竟然能躍出水面捕捉鳥兒,通常是鳥兒衝入水裏抓魚,大自然生態誰是獵食者與獵物常常有超乎尋常人的認知。
