      Hi mrmerks,

      Nice question! Well the first thing I’d do is take loads of photos and try and made headline news that’s for sure.

      There are actually a species of fish that can already nearly fly! These are called ‘Flying fish’ surprise surprise. Their fins are really long and actually act like wings, which allows them to jump out of the water and glides for hundreds of metres which is pretty amazing.

      Who knows what might happen after another million years of evolution… they might be able to fly like a proper bird!
