Common dolphins can blow 'bubble nets' around big schools of fish so that the all fish huddle together and are easier to catch and eat.
What other skills do you think a dolphin needs in order to be able to hunt and catch their dinner in the wild?
A long, fast sea creature with eight arms and two long tentacles. Most squid can change the colour of their skin so that they can blend into the background and avoid being eaten by dolphins!
A group of fish will work together to form a tightly packed circle called a bait ball when they are threatened by animals that want to eat them!
