its quite neat because
this fish sees that the type of is floating type and thus gulps air to adjust its swim bladder and then floats on the surface in order to pick up food easy

thats phenomenal ;)
 
Wow. I've never seen one eat. Looks like a flailing lizard. Cool.
 
interesting that the lungfish does that :)

also note that a lungfish does not have a swim bladder, but in fact what is considered to be a true lung (polypterus are also considered to have true lungs); gars, bowfin, and arapaima have modified gas (or swim) bladders--
