:44:01
it's up to the dolphins
to bring some
:44:03
order to all this and
they quickly do
:44:06
the dolphin's strategy is to
circle the school
:44:09
and drive it into an
ever tightening ball
:44:12
they guard the outside
perimeter by blowing bubbles
:44:15
which frightens the fish
:44:18
this takes advantage of
the fishes' natural defense
:44:21
to huddle together
when attacked
:44:24
as the fish ball
gets tighter
:44:26
the duskys take turns
grabbing mouthfuls
:44:29
of fish then retreat
to guard the perimeter
:44:50
soon the ball is
clustered so tightly
:44:53
the fishes' escape
response breaks down
:44:56
now it's simply a
matter of the
:44:58
dolphins' nipping food
off the edges
:45:22
as the feeding progresses
:45:23
the dolphin calves
are nowhere to be seen
:45:26
for others drawn
to the feast might prefer
:45:29
young dolphin to
a mouthful of anchovies
:45:41
mothers bring their calves
to a sort of nursery
:45:44
away from the chaos
of the feeding area
:45:59
for the rest of the group
