Flying Gurnard

Alternative names: Helmet Gurnard, Dactylopterus volitans

The Flying Gurnard is a bottom-dwelling fish that can be found in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It has huge pectoral fins that are usually held against its body, but if threatened it will expand its fins, in the same way a bird expands its wings, in order to scare the predator.
