This image show up something amazingly cool : A group of about 50 sailfish collaborate to round up a monolithic ball of sardines . Both shoal move in bicycle-built-for-two as if they stage two collective minds .
This exposure was taken by diver / photographerPaul Nicklenfor National Geographic . Ina related to video , he recountsexactly how the 8 - foot - long sailfish work together to push back this roving chunk of fish to the slaughter , bruise them with their brand noses , until they are exhausted and the crowd of sailfish can move in for the banquet . Of the photo above , he says :
More than a hundred sailfish keep tab on an elephant - size schooling of sardines off Mexico ’s Isla Mujeres . The big fish , which can dilute eight foundation bakshis to tip , drive their prey up from deeper weewee for leisurely feeding near the sunlit surface .
