Description
The dolphin worked together to strand feed the mullet onto the banks so they could feast. Meanwhile the pelican waited for the dolphin to surface and ran down the bank to steal the mullet fish from the dolphin. But don't worry, the dolphin did it again many times so they too got to eat!

Thanks for your reply, Patricia. That's very interesting, especially that they teach the babies. It's great that you can watch them doing this. Maybe I have to come down to John's Island to see them -- a place I used to visit when I was a child.

What a capture! I didn't know dolphin came onto the shore -- on purpose.

I wrote a reply but I do not see it so I will try again. Yes the dolphin here have learned to herd the fish and rush them onto the shore, then slide out to feed, then back into the water. Often repeating the process if successful. It is a learned behavior and they teach their young.
