[00:00:00]An archer fish can shoot a jet of water 5 feet to knock an insect off a branch.

[00:00:05]And the fish itself is only 5 in long.

[00:00:09]It can hit a flying insect in midair. It can shoot harder for larger prey and softer for smaller prey. It can target multiple insects in seconds, switching from one to the next. When the insect hits the water, the archer fish is already there. They have been studied since 1764.
