Learn how a school stays together, why some fishes swim upside down, how a stingray stings, which male fish can "give birth", how stickleback builds its nest, and why fishes need water to breathe. Discover why a shark must keep swimming, how a ray can give an electric shock, what eyespots are for, how an archerfish "shoots" a victim, and much, much more.
