Animal Facts Wednesday

Sure sure I'm late. Yesterday was actually a hectic work day, that and another incident or two like a friends drug addiction and some heavy scrabble playing I was fairly mentally in frazzle mode. (to be updated forthwith)


My facts are these:

M@rlin: aka. swordfish (black, stripped, atlantic blue)

- They can reach speeds of up to 80 miles an hour.
- They can sustain speeds of 20-50 miles an hour.
-The Old Man and the Sea: he battled a blue marlin.
-They can get up to 14ft but are typically 11ft!? and can weigh up to 400lbs.

Storyboard drawn: Young man in harness, with fishing pole. Marlin leaps out of water. Spears him in the mouth, narrowly missing piercing him through the neck and only gashes the inside of his cheek and breaking some sinus walls.

Is it sword-sharp?

yes. it uses it to spear and stun fish! like big 40lbs++ tuna and the like.

but it's more like what a horn would be and less metal blade sharp.

Wow, how cool are Swordfish!
