Description
This is NOT a fish.

This creature calls tethys man o'war and is giant skyglider from 220 million yers in the future. Skygliders are gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) descendants and they float in the air because they have giant hydrogen filled bladder above their atrophied backbone (skeleton of skygliders is reduced only to the most important bones (like jaws), so creature would be as light as possible, the baloon itself took the role of backbone as main skeleton to which muscles are attached). They have fish-like shape, so they can swim in air like fish so they can direct their flight like zeppelin. They are hoveve covered not by scales but by feathers very similar to those of birds. Their fins are also made of such feather crests. Tethys man o'war is 10 meters logng, floats in air above the sea and eats fish.
