Cowfish

According to cowfishes.com,
“Cowfish have another unusual talent to aid them in their search for food.. They can perform hydraulic jetting, which allows them blow a stream of water into the substrate. It is an effective method for uncovering hidden prey in sandy lagoon areas. In captivity, cowfish transfer this behavior to spitting water at the surface. This is because they associate feedings with the surface of the water, the place from where aquarists typically feed their fish. In fact, it is not uncommon for cowfish to develop good aim and shoot their keepers, giving them a face full of sea water.”
