The fact that only 8 dolphins have mastered this technique at [02:02] is mind-blowing. It’s literally culture and education being passed down in the animal kingdom. But honestly, watching them risk getting stranded at [01:47] just for a meal makes me wonder: is this sheer intelligence, or is it a desperate adaptation because of changing food sources? What do you guys think?

One of my favourite David Attenborough sequences I watched and I hope that I see this sequence in blue planet 3

Qué tristeza debe arriesgar su vida por comida, debe ser que no hay en el océano.

It's just a matter of time until these fishes and dolphins develop feet. They're getting closer and closer to land. Scary

Orcas should take notes of this technique, they don’t typically do this but I think it would be pretty neat for this to take advantage of this technique

Hey BBC Earth channel, upload more videos of Tigers, Elephants, Lions, and Crocodiles, those are good and I like them.

I've seen dolfins chase schools in side a harbor corral them up against the wall

Did they lean this by chance or was it by design, much like the Aboriginals, did the come up with the boomerang by throwing a flat peace of wood one time and seeing it do something different, or did the theory of aerodynamics come to mind. More questions than answers in this world we are in the process of destroying.
