The archerfish that shoots water from its mouth bugs better beware. How does the archerfish does it? Well its quite simple actually, The archerfish does this by forming a small groove in the roof of its mouth and its tongue into a narrow channel. It then fires by contracting its gill covers and forcing water through the channel, shooting a stream that, shaped by its mouth parts, travels faster at the rear than at the front.
