DESCRIPTION:Archerfish are well-known for their ability to dislodge aerial
  prey from twigs or leaves with shots of water. A closer look reveals that
  their unique hunting technique comes packaged with a remarkable combinati
 on of other skills. These are needed\, for instance\, to spot prey\, to le
 arn which targets to choose and how to engage them. Even the act of shooti
 ng is far from being a simple all-or-none action and shows essential hallm
 arks of adaptive tool-use. And after a successful shot the fish have to ma
 ke extremely rapid and accurate decisions to secure their prey against com
 petitors. These rapid decisions have turned out to be surprisingly complex
  and accessible to behavioral analysis. They are not hardwired\, apparentl
 y lack any speed-accuracy tradeoff\, can be profitably studied both in the
  wild and in the lab\, and bear the promise of a mechanistic understanding
  of some of its key features\, at the level of identified neurons.
