This dolphin is using a hunting technique where it whacks its tail fluke into the surface of the water, sending a shock wave to confuse the fish and make them easier to catch! 🐬 Learn more fun facts about dolphins: ausgeo.co/bottlenosedolphins 🎥 Leigh Clarke #australia #dolphin #wildlife #nature #ocean #beach #oceanlife #sealife #dolphins #fish #fishing #underwater #snokelling #scuba #diving #marinelife #marineconservation | Australian Geographic

Dolphin drifting 🐬⁣ ⁣ These dolphins are hunting in waters only a few centimetres deep, using a technique called hydroplaning. As fish move into shallower water, the dolphins usual hunting techniques no longer work. Instead they pump their tails to gain speed and hydroplane, allowing them to catch fish even in the shallowest waters. ⁣ ⁣ Footage by © BBC NHU⁣ | BBC Earth

Dolphin pod hunting fish... Dolphins have all sorts of techniques for catching fish, strand feeding, mud ring feeding, fish kicking etc. Sometimes they just chase their meal down though. Sometimes dolphins work cooperatively to catch food, but they hunt individually just as often. Although a bottlenose dolphins top speed is only about 30 mph, they can reach that speed amazingly fast. . . #wildlife #animals #ocean #nature #naturephotography #amazing #fish #dolphin #florida #outdoors #aerialphotog
