Sardine Feeding Frenzy with Sharks, Penguins and More | The Hunt | BBC Earth

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2017
- A sizeable shoal of Sardines proves to be quite a magnet for a variety of different sea predators. Surprisingly, none of the predators on display attack each other, instead they corral the ball of fish, taking turns to eat.

HAHAHAH BEST COMMENT
Hahahhah
Bcz a whale is passing by😄😅
That one sardine who looks behind them: *GUYS WATCH OUT*
Sea lions: Offense
Tuna: Utility
Shearwaters: Range
Sharks and dolphins: Heavyweight
Whale: Nuke
sea lions are the scouts
Honestly the tuna (and later the dolphins as well) carried the team, the sea lions and sharks did help quite a bit (and are capable of hunting bait balls themselves) but tuna and dolphins tend to be better-organized in this sort of cooperative attack, hence why the sea lions were having some trouble until the tuna showed up.
So the tuna for primary offence, the dolphins for heavyweight offence, the sea lions and sharks for utility/support, the shearwaters for range and the whale for the nuke.
Tuna made it easy for the others.
@@h.h271
Yeah, tuna were going at those sardines like piranha!
Whale was the boss
Absolutely every sardine was harmed in the making of this video
The Fucking News lmao

3:39 some of the sardines actually dodged the whale if you look closely. The still probably got eaten by the other animals shortly after.

@@Elthenar have you seen a killer whale punt a seal? Seal goes flying about 60 yards!
@@ericunderwood1482 No. I posted the bit with the dolphins because I've seen it in person. The first time, I could not stop laughing. I reeled in my line, broke out lunch and just watched the show.
@@Elthenar Now you see it ...now you don't!.... Isn't nature awesome! That's cool you got to see that first hand....One time in the 80s fishing outta Oceanside CA...we went out 120 miles to the Cortez and Tanner Banks....A miraculous day indeed.,.. massive schools of Tuna...miles long! Anyway near the end of the day we ran into bigger fish 125 lbs plus....some of the guys had smaller equipment so the seals and sharks were eating them before we could get em close to the boat.... I seen a 1100 pound Hammer Head (14 ft) just mackin on this guys tuna about 20 yards out...The head on that shark 4.5 ft across....it was like in slow motion....chomp...chomp ...chomp... Then outta nowhere about a 900 pound sea lion came up underneath that shark and just shouldered it right off the tuna! I can't even begin to tell you how that sounded. WHOA! . Stay blessed.. keep your eyes open and enjoy the show! Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High school
Lmao 😂 ikr
I love how the sharks come with what looks like clown fish as escorts like some kind of mobsters with their servants besides them
Those are pilotfish; they eat small fish, as well as scraps from whatever the shark hunted and ate. The shark also makes it easier for them to get around by producing a bow wave and a slipstream.
@@bkjeong4302 really nice for the shark to do so.
Yeah my first thought was “that shark has an entourage”
Sardines : exist
Everyone else : your free trial of living has ended
XD
Seriously sardines get eaten by almost every marine predator and in massive numbers.
😂😂
@@bkjeong4302 are we a marine animal?
Just asking
Imagine being a fish minding your own business and you turn around and see a bird under water with you

Man I hope I'm not reincarnated as a sardine.
If you believe in reincarnation and you live right that shouldn't happen
😂😂😂
With my shitty luck I probaly will haha
😢
you definitely not! your soul will
People forget just how big and how ~fast~ and coordinated tuna are. They were the MVPs in this feeding frenzy, keeping the sardine school from diving down further.
Seriously! Its so cool!!
Some animals are more recognizable as a processed food than for it’s amazing abilities
They are truly relentless
How the hell did they film that? This camera work is oscar worthy. Let alone the chance of finding a frenzy like that!?! The scene is incredible. Frankly, it shouldn't exist.
i think they used a drone that looks like certain fish, wildlife films are often shot that way
My question is how did th guy feel swimming in the middle of that
Sometimes they add cgi
This is the sardine run in South Africa. Lots of divers tourist it. It's on my bucket list
@@ayoubleboss623 this footage is like 14 years old, CGI would stand out like a sore thumb.

Whale: “excuse me, let me get just one bite.”
😂😂
To which the sea lions reply "only a mouthful" which leads to Whale pulling a comically large mouth.
"Pretty big bite"
It's my friend's "tiny" bite

Friend : can I have some?
Me : only a spoonful
Friend : ( grabs a giant spoon)
Whale: ayo can I get some sardines?
Other predators: only a mouth full
Whale: *pulls out his comically large mouth*
😂😂😂😂😂😂
And the belly before and after shot? Damn. Like an instantaneous reverse diet. You full?
No one’s talking about how amazing it is that such a diverse group of animals are able to put aside their differences to hunt down only one massive group prey.
That's so inspirational! What if we could also quit all our wars and misunderstandings to hunt down Je... oh wait.
@@TheFaveteLinguis hol up
@@TheFaveteLinguis ho ho I understand
But then the whale comes and finishes off everything like a boss.
It means leave it to nature to produce the very best for the environment. When human beings farm fish - they screw it up.
Sea Lions: “Dammit! We can’t break their defenses! We need backup!”
Tuna: “Copy that Sea Lion, proceeding to flank.”
Sea Lions: “Get those birds up we need some air superiority!”
Shearwaters: “Coming in hot!”
Sea lions: “we need some heavy support to pick off stragglers!”
Sharks and Dolphins: “We’re on it.”
Everyone: “We got them on the ropes! Finish them!”
Whale: “Tactical nuke inbound!”
Mission accomplished we got em.
Superb commentry!

Excellent comment. Actually the best in youtube

Imagine being hired to compose a song for a sardine massacre and making it this epic
Quasar do you know wat it’s called?
@@mathisdriscoll5887 The bait ball - Steven Prince
It almost sounds like the theme soundtrack for Deadshot
Agreed
I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. It was epic, the song was great to a great fit. The Blue Planet and Planet Earth series have plenty of feeding frenzies in them and each one has some feeding frenzy music composed with it, it may even be the same piece used over or other parts of it. And even beyond the Planet Earth documentaries, there have been a great many number of nature documentaries created in the world... each with its own music recorded or borrowed, so I am very sure that there have been a fair number of composers throughout the years that have been asked to make a track for the Sardine/Anchovie/Herring/Smelt shoal getting attacked by larger predators scene and then the composers making it quite "epic." Like, I don't think that is a rare occurrence, especially in the context of the "Planet Earth" crew, they have epic music for nearly every scene in their films. So it'd definitely not that surprising that it warrants a comment like yours... It's just such a strange comment and so many people upvoted it. Is it because you guys all actually don't think this huge shoal of sardines IS NOT epic??? Is that it? You saw it yourself, it was fucking crazy, and brutal. Being a songwriter myself I would love to write background music for this scene.
They're massacring the sardines.
People watching this : *BEAUTIFUL*
wild rules bro
Yes...it's beautiful because we do not see it often.
It probably happens every single day and still humans can eat sardines. In other words, if it doesn't happen, sardines will overpoppulate and there will be some sort of imbalance.
@@nunobarros3629 Yeah but humans encourage imbalance in animal populations.
I guess those Sardines can truly complain "Life is Unfair"
White women - "I'm so oppressed, my Rose wasn't chilled.."
Sardines "..."
They surely ate a lot of meat before they die.
To be fair it should been planktons
Krill have it even harder, they are constantly being eaten by the biggest animal of all time(bigger than even the mighty Argentinosaurus), the Blue Whale
damn the climax was way better than hollywood movies this days
Gotta agree
Same here
Better than the whole avengers cgi trilogy

You know you are screwed when Sea Lions, Tunas, Sharks, Birds, Dolphins and a freaking whale all set away their differences and gang up against you
That's because, really, they're friends, not enemies.
I love how all these players join in working togethers, but the moment a large whale appears, everyone makes way. That was badass.

imagine the crazy shit that goes on in the oceans that we dont see
@@m2burles1 yes but we've explored more of space than we have the oceans due to how massive and deep they are. The lower you go in the ocean, the greater the pressure. Thats why you don't see vertibrates lower than a certain depth in the ocean. It turns the body into jelly. Thus why so many invertibrate type creatures or blobby vertebrates live down in the deepest depths. Were always discovering new species of practically everything
