EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This long-beaked common dolphin knows how to make a splash when it comes to mealtime. Off the shores of Port St. Johns, South Africa, this adult dolphin is caught in action as it dives into a baitball school of small bait fish. With its sleek body and sharp beak, this predator effortlessly glides through the water, hunting for its next tasty treat. The waters off the Wild Coast are teeming with marine life, making it the perfect playground for these agile creatures. As part of a group of dolphins on the prowl, this clever mammal uses teamwork and strategy to corral their prey into tight shoals. With lightning-fast reflexes and precision swimming skills, they create an underwater spectacle that would rival any synchronized swim team. The Indian Ocean provides an abundant food source for these hungry hunters. Sardines and pilchards are among their favorite delicacies during feeding frenzies like this one. It's no wonder why they call it the sardine run! So next time you're out exploring coastal waters in South Africa, keep your eyes peeled for these acrobatic dolphins on their quest for sustenance. Just remember not to get too close – you wouldn't want to become part of their menu!
