From Greek 'belone' (needle) with the scientific suffix '-idae' used in taxonomy to denote a biological family of animals.
Belonidae fish can reach speeds of 40 mph and their needle-like jaws make them one of nature's most efficient fish predators, equipped with a hunting design perfected over millions of years.
