A school of reef needlefish near American Samoa. These distinctively shaped fish are capable of making short jumps out of the water at up to 60 km/h (37 mph). Since needlefish swim near the surface, they often leap over the decks of shallow boats rather than going around. Occasional deaths and serious injuries have been attributed to needlefish.
