Description Barracuda Inspired ink drawingThe Barracuda is a smooth stalker and a lone hunter... I was sitting on the dock one night, watching a 4-foot long Barracuda hunting, it was not a tough night for this fish. Beneath a spotlight that was set up for night swimming, hundreds of Yellowtail Snappers lazily circled in the pool of light. Un-noticed, the barracuda lazily moved to the edge of the school and in moments had his target in sight. His smooth silvery coloring pulsed and changed into dark black stripes, like those of a Bangle Tiger. (No, I was not smoking). He struck his target so fast, that I could not detect any movement, just the sudden splash of the attack, five feet away, and the scattering of Snappers in all directions. After finishing his meal, he slowly returned to the edge of the pool of light, easing back into position in his smooth silvery coat. The school of snappers amazingly regrouped and resumed their calm circular swimming. With self-assured calm, he locked his sites onto a fresh target, his bold stripes pulsing to life, and the scene repeated itself This drawing was my tribute to such an incredible hunter.
You do not need to worry about barracudas bothering you as a swimmer or diver. Though personally, I would not wear a Vegas style sparkling swimsuit or jewelry that they may mistake for the flash of a small silvery fish. They are only curious about things our size in their pool. I have had the wonderful experience of having one swim beside me at arms reach that was longer and bigger around than I am - and Im six foot one. A friend took the photo, or no one would have believed me, this barracuda was Huge! www.savanna-art.com for custom murals on tile and original artwork.
