## Caption

As one of Earth’s largest freshwater fish, the arapaima is full of force and muscle. The arapaima’s streamlined body makes it look like a torpedo, making it perfect for capturing prey quickly above the surface of water. What else makes this strong Amazonian predator so unique? It can actually breathe air, thanks to possessing a swim bladder that can take in oxygen.
