Why does God have fish swimming across the sky?
So they can get to the other side, silly!
But (failed)attempts at ironic humor aside, this sky-crosser looking really, really like a fossil ostracoderm(?) strongly reminded me of all those scary-looking armored ancient fishes.
Like this "Dunkleosteus":
Whereas this cloud could stand for any one of the short-bodied modern fishes, of which there are many. Funny how as evolution proceeded over the eons organisms seem to have become less well-defended -- but maybe it means they've become more agile and better at evading predation.
Like this rather typical species, which turned out to have the atypical name of Tiger Oscar Fish:
