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.
