R&B star Craig David clearly needs to learn more about predators and prey if his flying fish rescue attempt video is anything to go by – after his rescue attempts turned to disaster
Craig David has shared video footage of the hilarious moment he tried to rescue a flying fish – only for it to go very quickly wrong. The Fill Me In singer took to Instagram in disbelief after realising his good-natured efforts had proved in vain.
“Oh my days,” the 44-year old wrote in a caption alongside his video. “Never expected the ending though. What a divine message to receive – we can’t control life’s plan.”
The clip began with Craig carefully picking the fish up after it had jumped out of the water and landed on wooden decking. “This is crazy… this fish literally just jumped out of the sea and you are going back in here my friend,” he said as he gently dropped it back into the water.
However, within a matter of seconds, the flying fish was wolfed down by a larger fish which approached it from behind.
“Oh dear,” the singer simply said afterwards.
Parodying Craig’s 2000 hit, 7 Days, one Instagram user quipped in response: “Met this fish on Monday. Threw him in the water on Tuesday. He was eaten up on Wednesday… and that was the end of the week for the fish.”
A second person pointed out: “It came to you for safety and you sent it to its death.”
A third added: “I was randomly scrolling on TikTok and thought that was one of those AI videos until I realised that it was actually Craig David speaking!”
While a fourth Instagram user confessed: “I’m going to Hell because I couldn’t stop laughing and the more times I watched it the funnier it got.”
And fellow singer, Rita Ora even weighed in too, sharing: “You can’t make it up.”
According to National Geographic, flying fish can be seen jumping out of warm ocean waters worldwide.
“Their streamlined torpedo shape helps them gather enough underwater speed to break the surface, and their large, wing-like pectoral fins get them airborne,” the magazine states.
It continues: “Flying fish are thought to have evolved this remarkable gliding ability to escape predators, of which they have many.
“Their pursuers include mackerel, tuna, swordfish, marlin, and other larger fish. For their sustenance, flying fish feed on a variety of foods, including plankton.”
