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. |
