(the fish, not my car)


The barracuda is a ray-finned fish known for its large size (up to 6 feet (1.8 m) in length and up to 1 foot (30 cm) in width, for some species) and fearsome appearance. Its body is long, fairly compressed, and covered with small, smooth scales. It is a salt water fish, and is found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. It is of the genus Sphyraena, the only genus in the family Sphyraenidae.
In general, a barracuda's coloration is dark green or gray above, silvery sided and chalky-white below. Coloration varies somewhat between species. For some species, there are irregular black spots or a row of darker cross-bars or on each side. The fins may be yellowish or dusky. Barracudas live primarily in oceans, but certain species such as the Great Barracuda can also be found thriving in brackish water.

The collective name for a group of barracudas is a battery. They are voracious opportunistic predators relying on surprise and short bursts of speed (up to 28 miles per hour (45 km/h)) to overtake their prey.
Adults of most barracuda species are more or less solitary in their habits, while young and half-grown fish frequently congregate in schools. Barracuda prey primarily on fish, sometimes as large as they are themselves by shearing off large chunks.
