Baracuda


A baracuda is atracted to anything shiny. So when you go swimming in the ocean don't wear any thing shiny. Baracudas are very fast and agile when it comes to swimming. There is about two baracuda attacks a week. They are very good at hunting. This fish hunts by grabing its prey, swallowing small prey whole while larger prey is ripped into pieces to get swallowed separately. Sometimes after a barracuda eats it leaves pieces around and seagulls eat the chunks.
