In South Africa, marine biologist Lorien Picehegru studies the hunting techniques used by the Cape gannet.

Orcas that come out of the water, birds that dive to depths of over 20m - some animals don't hesitate to enter unfamiliar environments. In Argentina, in the bay off Puerto Madryn, Jorge Cazenave explains the orca beaching technique. Thanks to aerial images, we discover how the whales in a pod teach this technique to the young who don't yet hunt.

In Lambert鈥檚 bay in South Africa, marine biologist Lorien Picehegru studies the hunting techniques used by the Cape gannet, which can dive as far down as 20m into the water to reach shoals of sardine. We learn this hunting method is the result of inter-species co-operation between birds and dolphins.
