Info from Licensor: "How cool is this? Only a few dolphin groups in the world do what’s called strand feeding, where they strategically work together to herd fish onto the shore, then launch out of the water to catch them. They confuse the fish by circling and kicking up waves to trap them, then make a zipper-like sound as a signal to charge ahead at the same time. Even cooler? They learn this from watching each other; something they pass down through generations. So thankful for the front row seat."
