The South China Sea is home to a diverse array of marine life, including the flying fish, a unique creature which has the remarkable ability to leap out of the water and glide for short distances while under attack or disturbed by the sounds of nearby vessels. Among the many predators of the flying fish, the red-footed booby stands out as a particularly skilled hunter. Recognized as a national second-class protected wild animal, the red-footed booby has earned the nickname "hunter of flying fish." These birds are often seen accompanying ships and preying on flying fish that are startled by the ships. (Photo by Ding Yongchang/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
