Acanthocybium solandri, commonly known as the wahoo, is a fast-swimming predatory fish found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. It boasts a sleek, elongated body with iridescent blue-green stripes, sharp teeth, and a pointed snout. Wahoos are known for their speed, reaching up to 60 mph, and are solitary hunters.

Acanthocybium solandri, commonly known as the Wahoo, is native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Its geographical distribution primarily includes the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. It is commonly found off the shores of the United States (particularly in the Gulf of Mexico), the Caribbean, Central and South America, as well as in the coastal waters of Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

Wahoos are typically found in open ocean environments, preferring warm, clear waters with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C (68°F to 82°F). They are pelagic species, meaning they inhabit the upper layers of the ocean, often found near the surface but can also dive deep in search of prey.

The Wahoo occupies a niche as a fast-swimming predator in the pelagic ecosystem. Its diet primarily consists of smaller fish and squid, which it hunts using its speed and agility. The species is known for its elongated body and sharp teeth, adaptations that aid in its predatory lifestyle. Wahoos are solitary or found in small groups, contributing to the balance of marine food webs by controlling populations of smaller fish species.
