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. |
