The prehistoric Sailfish is a 2.5 meters long[1] fish that lives in the sea near the colony. They are predominantly blue to gray in colour and have a characteristic erectile dorsal fin known as a sail. Its two forefins also look like sails. These sails are reddish in color. Another notable characteristic is the elongated bill, resembling that of the swordfish and other marlins.
