Looks fake right? We all heard of the flying fish but a flying squid? These are real photos taken south of Japan by British photographer Graham Ekins, a retired deputy head teacher from Boreham, Essex. About 1,000 kilometres off the Bonin Islands in the north Pacific, just in Japanese waters. One of the most bizarre sights you'll ever see in our world.
The flying squid or "Todarodes pacificus" in Latin are eight inch-long blue creatures. The flying squid swim in shoals and leap from the surface of the water which uses jet propulsion to leap out of the sea and fly up to 65feet to avoid predators. The squid fly looking backwards, with their tentacles dangling behind them and fins acting like wings, keeping them balanced in the air.
