Selected material

Co-operation among predators (10’45)

Snakes going into cracks to search for prey, which might escape only to have trevallies (blue) pick them up

Australian dolphins hydroplaning (17’15-18’30)

The fish is almost within reach, between the dolphin and the birds (top left frame). The dolphin starts beating its tail vigorously to pick up speed – hydroplaning – to get into the shallows (top right and bottom left). Several dolphins enjoy the spoils in the end.
