Neon Flying Squid: Amazing creatures soar more than 100 feet through the air at 11.2 metres PER SECOND | Daily Mail Online


Quote:
'Once they finish shooting out the water, they glide by spreading out their fins and arms,' Yamamoto's team said in a report.

'The fins and the web between the arms create aerodynamic lift and keep the squid stable on its flight arc.

'As they land back in the water, the fins are all folded back into place to minimise the impact.'
