Team tactics pay off

Working together with aquatic predators, shearwaters can make the most of a feast beneath the waves. A small shoal of mackerel are herded towards the surface by common dolphins, attacking them from below and preventing their escape. The shearwaters then make their aerial attack, diving down many metres to catch their prey.
