Tuna are remarkable and impressive wild animals. The Atlantic bluefin can reach ten feet in length and weigh as much as 2,000 pounds (more than a horse). Their specialized body shape, fins, and scales enable some species of tuna to swim as fast as 43 miles per hour. Tuna swim incredible distances as they migrate.
A tuna ( pl. : tunas or tuna) is a saltwater fish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini, a subgrouping of the Scombridae (mackerel) family.
