A backspot flyingfish is a species of flying fish, Latin name Cheilopogon dorsomacula, long with a broadly cylindrical body.

Parexecotoeus brachypterous is also known as a sailfin flyingfish.

flyingfish Scientifically speaking Fish of the family Exocoetidae.

Flying fish Exocoetidae of which there are some 64 species, live in all the oceans; preferring the tropcal/sub tropical waters. Leaping from the water is a defence from predators. Gliding or 'flying' is achieved by utilizing the pectoral fins which have evolved into large winglike structures.

Boobies were apparently given their common name because of their folly in allowing sailors to approach and kill them for food. Like gannets, boobies plunge-dive for fish and squid but specialize in feeding in shallow water and in the catching of flyingfish. The brown booby stays nearer the coast than the gannet and breeds on cliffs and rocks or even on beaches and coral reefs. The female lays 1 or 2 eggs in a hollow on the ground or among rocks, and both parents share the incubation and feeding duties.
