The scene is like the greatest hunting ground on earth, when sharks, whales, dolphins and wild birds surround thousands of sardine fish that are migrating from cold waters in South Africa to warm waters. in the north.
Both tiny fish stocks reach 6,400 meters long and 1,600 meters wide, can be seen clearly from above the water.
About a thousand dolphins cooperated to hunt for sardine fish.
They drop bubbles to make the disordered fish clusters into smaller ones, making them easier to swallow.
To protect themselves, the sardine fish combine into giant balls of up to 20 meters in diameter.
Sky birds also rush into the water like arrows to hunt fish.
Participating in the chase is even aggressive sharks.
While dolphins work together to eat, sharks have a certain order, based on size.
The oldest one comes first, the little ones follow.
As soon as the party is about to end, Brydes whale appears .
. and swallowed up thousands of small fish in a giant whack.
Hundreds of sky birds plunged into the sea to hunt, filling the sky.
