Bottlenose dolphin show off unique feeding technique

January 26, 2010 @ 1:11 am

From the first episode of the new BBC series, Life, comes this fascinating segment on a unique fishing method developed by bottlenose dolphins off the coast of Florida. Basically, the dolphins stir up the sediment on the ocean floor and surround the fish they want to eat with a ring of dirt. The fish, in panic, start jumping out of the water and the dolphins place themselves in such a way that the fish literally jump into the mouths of the dolphins. Easy meal!
