The masters of the plunge dive! Gannets can strike the water at speeds up to 60mph, folding their wings back like arrows. Their colonies are spectacular — and vital indicators of ocean health.

I am a Grey Mullet!
The Flathead Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) can leap right out of the water! They are like nature’s vacuum cleaner, eating algae and organic debris, helping keep water clean and ecosystems healthy. #GreyMullet #FishFacts #OceanLife #WhoAmIReveal

I thrive in both saltwater & freshwater, cruising coastlines and estuaries alike.
I’m a bit of a bottom-feeder and I travel in large schools.
My name sounds a little like a trendy 80s haircut — business in the front, party in the back!
