poor sardines...

...they never had a chance.sad

this David Attenborough-narrated video from the Natures Great Events series is, in my view, one of the most spectacular nature segments I've ever seen.

off the coast of South Africa, a massive shoal of sardines is attacked by a formidable array of predators. the surface view of the army of dolphins is impressive, but when the gannets plunge like arrows into the ocean, then fly underwater, the scene is truly awe-inspiring.

i strongly recommend that if your system and connection support it that you click on the "HQ" button on the bottom right, then on the "fullscreen" button.
