[00:00.65]Unlike the open ocean,
[00:02.21]the water here is rich in plankton,
[00:04.69]feeding huge shoals of fish and even giant manta rays.
[00:27.00]Each sea lion needs over six kilograms of fish a day.
[00:33.39]With shoals this size, it shouldn't be too difficult.
[00:39.85]But it's not easy picking one fish out of the crowd.
[00:58.51]The fish know there's safety in numbers,
[01:00.74]so for the sea lions the trick is
[01:02.66]to snip the shoal into smaller and smaller balls.
[01:17.67]Finally, a fish breaks for cover.
[01:19.49]It's what the sea lions have been waiting for.
[01:22.88]Crevices in the reef might seem to offer shelter.
[01:26.01]But that's no problem for the sea lions,
[01:28.03]who simply scare them out with bubbles.
[01:39.20]With the sea lions distracted,
[01:41.10]the fish regroup and the chase starts all over again.
