The crocodile longtom (Tylosurus crocodilus) is a marine predator that has evolved a unique hunting strategy: it doesn't bite or ambush from below, but instead rockets forward at speeds of 40 mph with its jaws first, using its elongated, translucent body and forward-facing needle teeth to impale prey like a biological spear, combining the body plan of a needlefish with the skull structure of a crocodile.

This Fish Impales Prey at 40 Miles Per Hour With a Crocodile's SkullAdded:
40 mph jaws first into flesh. [music] The crocodile longtom doesn't bite, it impales. A silver torpedo stretched thin as a blade, translucent [music] body barely visible in dark water, but the skull, the skull is pure reptile. Needle teeth lock [music] forward like a biological spear punching clean through fish before they register movement.
Evolution built a living javelin then gave it a crocodile's face.
