The Unique Trick Dolphins Use to Hunt | 20 Years of Planet Earth | BBC Earth

Intelligence in the wild does not create kindness it creates more efficient hunters Respect to BBC Earth for showing nature without illusion

I swear I read the title as "The Unique Trick Dolphins Use to Hunt 20-Year-Olds"

Here in SW Florida in the back bays I have seen dolphins forcing the prey up on sandbars and letting their young go across the sandbar to catch the prey. I've heard it called "sharking the flats."

It must really suck being a fish!

wow

BBC plays delightful music over a scene that from the fish perspective is a massacre

They are predators after all. All dolphins are, not just Orcas. I was in Antarctica 20 years ago where we witnessed a seal stuck on some ice, which was surrounded by Orcas. They were determined to tip him off and would not give up. I couldn't watch, and left the deck. I later got teased about my "weakness", but I'd do it again. Not something I wanted to see!

What’s really impressive is how dolphins adapt their hunting strategies In shallow water, precision matters more than speed.

That moment when the dolphins risk stranding themselves just to catch dinner — talk about dedication!

Dolphins breathe air, they are relatively safe unless they go far up the beach

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Appreciation for the BBC Earth Team for their research and hard work in capturing this segment from a farthest located grid of our Planet.

I used to think dolphins were just friendly animals, but this changes everything. Their hunting method is so controlled and efficient. Nature really doesn’t waste energy. Do you see them differently now?

Wow, these dolphins are true daredevils of the sea! Hydroplaning through shallow waters? That’s next-level hunting!

Love BBC❤
