How do dolphins eat?

Dolphins eat mainly hunting in pods. To hunt, they organize themselves in a very sophisticated procedure where everyone in the pod has its own place.

The first technique is called herding and it is performed by a pod of dolphins when some of they surround a school of fish making them as compact as possible.

After this is done, the remaining dolphins take turns to pass through the fish from below and eat as much as possible in each pass.

Other way that dolphins use to eat is by conducting fish to shallow waters when they cannot escape and there they can eat easily.
