BARRACUDA

Picture of Barracuda

Barracuda is a popular name for many pike-like predatory fishes of the family Sphyraenidae. They typically have long, pointed jaws filled with very sharp teeth and grow to between one and three metres in length. Large
barracudas are mainly solitary, lurking in tropical reefs waiting for prey, rushing out at high speed to attack anything that comes within range, including man.
