A rare and dramatic event of marine predation was recently captured in the waters surrounding Beijiao Reef, which is part of China's Xisha Islands. Local fishermen inadvertently filmed the striking moment when a dolphin hunted and successfully captured a flying fish. In the footage, the dolphin is seen lying in wait, scanning the waters for prey. Upon identifying its target, it accelerates rapidly and launches a surprise attack. The flying fish, with its agile movements, managed to escape temporarily but was ultimately caught by the dolphin.
