What does the Barracuda fish look like?

- Body shape: Barracudas have elongated, streamlined bodies that are well-suited for fast swimming and pursuit. Their bodies are typically cylindrical in shape, with a pointed snout and a forked tail.

- Size: Barracudas vary in size, with some species reaching lengths of over 6 feet (1.8 meters). The great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) is one of the largest species, known to reach lengths of up to 8 feet (2.4 meters).

- Coloration: Barracudas have striking coloration that varies among different species. They often have silvery, blue-green, or olive green bodies with dark vertical bands or spots along their sides. Some species may also have yellow or gold markings on their heads or fins.

- Teeth: Barracudas are known for their sharp, pointed teeth. They have two rows of teeth in their upper jaw and one row in their lower jaw. Their teeth are designed for grasping and holding prey, rather than chewing.

- Fins: Barracudas have two dorsal fins, with the first dorsal fin being located closer to the head and the second dorsal fin located further back on the body. They also have a pair of pectoral fins and a pair of pelvic fins. The caudal fin, or tail fin, of barracudas is forked, providing them with excellent speed and agility in the water.

- Scales: Barracudas have small, cycloid scales that are smooth to the touch. Their scales are often iridescent, reflecting light in various shades of blue, green, and silver.
