As a kid I was (and, come to think of it I still am) intruiged by the way the archer fish hunts. The fish hunts insects and other small animals by shooting them down with a small ray of water:

Now I was pointed to this article in Nature magazine about a fish that can wriggle from Africa’s tropical swamps to snaffle a snack on land.
The article also contains a video demonstrating the ‘wriggling’.

So why do I think fish hunting on land is more special then mammals hunting in water… since live has evolved from the oceans, how can it be that we don’t see many examples of fish hunting on land?
