Feeding frenzy - common dolphins vs. needlefish

Dolphins are incredible hunters. The use their echolocation to locate prey and depending on the area and the species, they use a variety of hunting techniques to capture them. In the Azores, common dolphins work as a coordinated group to surround schools of small fish and herd them to the surface. The energetic display at the surface is incredible to watch, and if you're luck you can even see dolphins leaping out of the water with a fish in its mouth.
