[@breAnnasmama]

hairlesheep no they do have a part in it that benefits the dolphins ... don’t u think that the fish being wrangled up are also looking up and not knowing where to go , as well ? It drums and shocks them in terms of how to react , as they become startled and nervous and it allows them to become separated from one another and to instinctively try to stay as one unit , as it’s much safer for them by nature , to remain in a herdlike grouping , where yes they know many will be picked off , but the likelihood of their having a chance to survive is largely increased by having such large numbers and remaining with such a huge group , which in most cases, will all respond “on a dime” , in any shift In direction or angles or distance between one another , etc. they react whisky and almost innately , as if they have a mechanical process behind their very movements in navigating and not accidentally zigging when the little dude beside them zags, etc .. but when they anticipate the course of direction and are already receiving pressure being pursued from beneath the water and around them , with a team of dolphins ( also among certain species of saltwater resident dolphins , they’re known to join forces with a few other large predators, in creating the bait balls of food , as even if they have a larger predator they’d even perhaps in most cases , avoid , they’ve joined forces and split off the bounty among them all , which though often so many within the massive balls of bait get consumed , there are so many that remain even after such large predators , in their groups of plenty manage to pick off ... so when the dolphins , some seals / sea lions and other large predators show up for the same feeding frenzy , it’s not as alarming for the dolphins , since they have plenty of food to go around , where they don’t suffer from others grabbing part of the food they’d been responsible for rounding up to begin with . It’s enough for all and they eat til full , not just getting a piece or few .. but for the fish , who obviously look up in the sky and are aware if they’re living snd breathing 😂 that predatory birds will dive in and not think twice , it scared them to panic , causing them even more chaos , which helps both birds and water predators , alike .., bc whike one group wks beneath the surface & circling around them to swirl up bubbles of O2& currents to disorient & push them closer together and into a tight circle , also by pushing them up to the surface , in which they panic as well , bc they’ve nowhere to go and cannot Bresthe out of water or see in the chaos beneath them, then the birds work to push them down tighter into a large mass of bait from their position and while this footage may not have shown the full extent of what it generally looks like , that’s the strategy behind it. Also dolphins ( bottle nosed I know do this , maybe others too , not shocked if so ) will get fish into shallow water , using their tail fins will pound the sand beneath and create a muddy unseeable mess , while creating circles Around them , making a current like a whirlpool effect & shift into shallow water trapping the bait ball that forms, where they begin to jump out of the water & that’s where both birds and dolphins score too , bc they don’t get to jump out of the way to freedom but are forced into making two equally horrible choices ,’to go up or go down , either way with something waiting to devour them .. and then ,Of course any dolphins or birds having to rip & tear anything to consume it , will also feed something lower on the scale , awaiting particulate of whats bn ripped apart to sink or drift down their way .. but all n all anytime something n the wild catches a n break, remember , there’s a season for ev thing including their hardship and suffering & lean times ,,, so what may be advantageous in the direction of one will have the scales tipped to favor that any other time they’d be at risk of not surviving & having to go without. That’s just how it wks ... for everything really 😂. I’m just glad I don’t have to get my meals like that hahaha 😂 or have to worry bout being someone else’s lol ( ewe , sorry 😆)

Over 50 years as a Nationally authorized Falconer. They are amazing. No other person in the USA is allowed to do what he/they do. They are nothing less than amazing. Don't know them personally, as I live in the Pacific NW, but love them to pieces for what the do, every day, 24.7.365, no vacations for decades, bc they have so many critters to take care of.

[@lynnleigha580]

It straight blows my mind every time I watch a new animal video.. It amazes me how smart these animals are. I watched one where a wild dog brought home some prey for his pups and as they was eating he started jumping around them trying to steal their food, he was teaching them what to do if a hyena happened upon them. Yea, a dog pretended to be a hyena to teach his pups. I watched an alligator straight up manage to balance a stick on his nose and swim up towards some birds that was building a nest, and when the bird flew down for the stick, he became lunch. Or some birds, like an ostrich will run away from her baby's when predator come towards them, but she'll run off limping, like she's hurt, so the predator will think she's hurt and chase her instead, giving the chicks time to hide

[@aspiknf]

Yeah it also straight up blows my mind how cute you are. What a beautiful lady. Also, God's nature is amazing. Yes evolution created all these life forms. Animals can sometimes be kind and helpful to each other but they can also sometimes be weird.

[@aspiknf]

My favourite parts were the dolphin and birds eating fish together...and the crabs eating stuff off the iguanas and the lizards eating flies off the sea lions. Have a good weekend. I thought that Ons Jabeur would win in straight sets but I was wrong. I think Novak Djokovic will win Wimbledon 2023.

[@breAnnasmama]

Something Mildly Homophobic you’re .... ( sorry , I couldn’t resist being one of those folks ... 😂 ) but hahaha , yes ! So many people really don’t open their eyes and do any work or effort around them , yet they wanna get behind whatever “trendy “ cause , sit around and talk about All the things we all need to be doing ... and then the other folks that also are wanting to talk about it will agree and essentially , nothing gets done except people on social media discussing all the plans they wanna make to plan to plan on planning on making plans to make a difference.... but in that , I’m not legit. Saying that either of the folks saying that are only just talking the talk for the heck of it ... they very well may be motivated to make a great effort and by all means , I’m not going to be mad at that haha ....but there are people out there that do only wanna come off edgy or trendy and remark over things like omg stop using palm oil and stop this and that ... buy they’ll drive around in their leather interior ride and wear their designer labels and not care what animal died or was having crap tested on it for whatever trendy product and label they HAD TO have or what sweatshop it came from ... and they don’t ever get organized to seek proper legislation in areas where people are going in and devastating the environment and destroying habitats , leaving animals endangered. Bc not the consumer that’s down there ripping apart jungles or clearing land and depriving everything of resources , at the core of it all.. its the supplier.. the supplier with all the deep pockets , filled with money and politicians and whom ever else they can buy off or convince to let them have at it & they’ll still ruin the very land they’re destroying even if every trend seeker via social media & all the entitled ,self seeking , attention craving , fake celebrities that wanna act like such big activists wanna sit and make some attempt at getting attention for themselves by using whichever “ cause “ or Trend in the media or this world can benefit off of by acting like oh it’s so bad .,, yet what do they actually do ? Stand in front of the news cameras and paparazzi or saying whatever in conjecture , with no intent , making sure everyone sees and hears them and thinks , wow. How great they are and I too wanna mimic them ? I hope for some people’s sake they’ll stand firm in their beliefs and fight for what’s worth the fight , not for the sake of what others say or think or even know of them , but for what their heart compels them to do,, personally, I think many ppl are only as quick to forget it as they are to stumble across the idea of doing something, whatever that may be .. bc while they may feel bad about something , they go right back to their usual and it just remains a compartment in their mind or area or conversion pieces to discuss and agree on with others who do the same & yet do nothing ... not saying any of these ppl are to that extent. Only that a lot of people are. While I don’t like to talk about myself , I will say I’ve felt always that for me anyway , whether others do or not , one should not even let their left hand know what their right is doing - when they give or do good deeds . Meaning to do so and not make a spectacle for ur self about it but give or help and do the wk & let the wk speak for itself in what it accomplishes. So i won’t sit and say oh I do this and I do that , to let my insignificant ego get coddled just out of doing the expected / what should be done ,,, but I’d encourage ppl to actually put their effort where their heart is and don’t just stop and say oh that’s sure sad .. someone ought to do this ... only to keep saying it . Maybe these folks are truly motivated and able and willing to put the wk into what they believe in and for that , I’d say good. They should. Someone’s got to or it won’t be done , whatever it may be .,

Jesus Saves Correct, I agree. Where the bloody hell is Jesus these days? All humanity is in a pandemic with a large proportion praying, late last year there were bushfires which devastated Australia, young children are still dying of malnutrition around the world and mainly in 3rd world countries where religion preaches against condoms. And God forbid it, the majority of the world now relies on science to heal their issues. So where are you Jesus? We need to find you! And yes you did create all the animals...and...the bacteria and viruses....and lightning which causes a lot of fires, oh yeah and the floods (unless you believe the ‘scientists’, those lying pricks!).

So we watched them the whole time. They did work together to chase schools of mullet into the sandy shallow areas where they are side by side. I wish you would have seen it.
