Isn't it so cool to see them strand feed? It is amazing.

Interesting series! Please take a moment to update your spotting with the scientific name. That will officially enter it into the PN database. Thanks! :-)

Elsi is correct. The technique is called "strand feeding". The dolphins in the ACE Basin of South Carolina use it frequently.

This dolphin isn't hurt. She's using a fishing technique where she drives the fish onto the shore and then wiggles back into the water.
