Oceanic squid fly in the air in the northwest Pacific Ocean, 600 km east of Tokyo. The mollusc propels itself out of the ocean by shooting a jet of water at high pressure, before opening its fins to glide at up to 11.2 metres per second.

Neon flying squid, I think?  Fins and webbed arms, it looks like.  This would be so cool to see in person…
