| Quote | Usually small, although it attains a maximum length of 200 cm. Lives in groups and swims either close to the bottom or at the surface. Feeds on small fish and plankton. Unspecified small bony fishes and zoopnakton. (?) The cephalic horns serve as a funnel to bring food near the mouth. Its behavior is rather sluggish at the surface; however, they can swim rapidly and make impressive leaps out of the water. They are actually inoffensive when they are not disturbed or are not wounded. |
