"Sardine Run"
During the sardine migration along the Wild Coast of South Africa, millions of sardines are preyed upon by marine predators such as dolphins, marine birds, sharks, whales, penguins, sailfishes, and sea lions. The hunt starts with common dolphins that have developed special hunting techniques to create and drive bait balls to the surface. In recent years, probably due to overfishing and climate change, the annual sardine run has become more and more unpredictable. It took me two weeks to get the opportunity
Cape Town - Selected from thousands of entries, an underwater photo of the South of the Wild Coast of South AfricaThe photo, titled "Sardine Run" was captured by Greg Lecoeur of Nice, France. Lecoeur took the photo in June 2015 after waiting for two weeks to witness the natural predation on the sardines captured in the photo.
