Team effort
High tides allow a small group of bottlenose dolphins to reach the shallows for an unusual hunting campaign. One of the dolphins peels off from the main group, swimming rapidly in a circle ahead of the fish they seek and stirring up the mud. This forces the fish directly into the path of the waiting dolphin group. A team effort will enable the dolphin pod to feed in this way for as long as the tide allows.
