Earth Touch’s Barry Skinstad narrates his encounter in a baitball on June 30 where he finds all the major predators, sharks, dolphins, gannets and whales hitting one baitball. The video shows the distinct hunting technique of each predator species and seemingly unreal order in feeding frenzy whereby the only prey consumed are sardines. In the mad frenzy, it seemed the predators knew when to move out of the way of each other, except for one very unfortunate shark .... join the discussion and click on the link for the video to find out what happened!

  1. Pretty amazing footage; worth watching over and over. Quite a whack he took from that whale.
    Really reinforces how all these animals are just so aware of everything going on around them. Also very cool how it shows the dolphins pushing the ball to the surface, and the gannets only going in when the ball is close enough to the surface. Wonder if the dolphins are thinking how irritating the gannetsare?
