This is a Japanese flying squid. i survive by catching small fishes and krill. I can reach speeds of up to 11.2 meters per second. This is faster than Usein Bolt. Challenge I face is trying not to be eaten by bigger fishes.
My role in the eco system is I act both as a predator and prey.
Kia ora,
I really enjoyed reading your facts about the Japanese flying squid. I think it’s cool how fast it can swim even faster than Usain Bolt! I also liked how you explained that it is both a predator and prey in the ecosystem. That was really clear and interesting to read.
Do you think being able to swim so fast helps it escape bigger fish more easily?
Ka pai on your great work!
Thank you for your comment. I was also surprised to read how fast it was. I asked my aprents how fast that was.
And yes I agree with the last sentence. Speed is to help them swim away faster from the big bad baddies.

Wow, I really enjoyed reading about your flying fauna activity! Your butterflies sound amazing, and I love how you used things from your garden and around your house to make them. 🌸🦋
It’s cool that you learnt what “fauna” means and that you were proud of your work — you should be! I can imagine finding materials was a bit tricky, but you did a great job being creative.
Which butterfly was your favourite to make, and why?
Ka pai on your awesome work!

Wow! It is very impressive that the Japanese Flying Squid can move faster than Usain Bolt. Do you enjoy sprinting? What is your favourite sport and why?
Very cool how you were able to make two animals out of the materials you sourced from your garden! I wonder how many more creations you could make out of the same materials?
