The sardine run of South Africa (13pics)


 Thousands of sardines swim around a shark as they take part in an annual event known as the sardine run


 Sharks, dolphins, cape gannets and whales can be often be seen feeding on the fish that zoom past

 It appears that the dolphins corral the sardines into what is known as a bait ball...
  the sharks and cape gannets along with the dolphins then take advantage of of the bait ball and dive in to feed
