A Fish That Can Aim? Yes!

❻ Things about Archerfish 🎯 ➊. Nature’s Sniper: The archerfish can shoot jets of water with surgical precision to hit insects and prey above the surface — even up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) away! 📐 ➋. They correct for refraction: Light bends when it passes from air to water, but archerfish instinctively adjust their aim to hit targets exactly where they are, not where they appear. 💦 ➌. Adjustable water jets: Archerfish can tweak the strength of their spit depending on how far the target is — they basically have built-in range settings. 🎮 ➍. Rapid-fire shots: They can fire multiple shots in quick succession, increasing their odds of hitting fast-moving or tricky prey. 👁️ ➎. Aim with one eye: When lining up a shot, an archerfish often tilts its head to use just one eye for better targeting — like a tiny aquatic sniper. 🧠 ➏. Learned precision: They get better over time. Juveniles start off as clumsy shooters but practice makes perfect — they improve their aim as they grow!
