DOLPHIN STRAND FEEDING
A Bottlenose dolphin strand feeding, catching a mullet for lunch. There are only a few bottlenose dolphins in the world that have learned to strand feed by their parents. These dolphins will herd a school of fish, then propel themselves and the fish up onto the shore and feast on the mullet.
