Story and video from Storyful

Drone footage has captured dolphins in Tampa Bay, Florida, using a fascinating hunting technique where they throw fish into the air using their tail fins.

Michael Mccarthy of See Through Canoe, who filmed this footage, told Storyful: “This video shows dolphins using a dramatic hunting technique.

“The dolphins kick or whack the fish with their tails with precision timing and stun the fish.

“Often the fish gets knocked high into the air and the dolphin has to retrieve it.

“The aerial view provided by a drone shows exactly what is happening when the dolphin kicks the fish.”
