Environment
Barracudas can typically be found in surface water.
Their young circulate in mangroves, estuaries and the sheltered waters of coral reefs. The adults live in a very diverse range of habitats, from the dark waters of ports to the open sea. Barracudas may sometimes form small groups, especially when young.
The adults tend to be solitary creatures. The barracuda’s prominent lower jaw reveals sharp teeth that give it an aggressive demeanour. Its long body makes it an excellent swimmer capable of rapid attacks.
