Incredible drone footage taken in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa shows a pod of angry dolphins seeing off a great white shark.
Uncomfortable with the shark’s presence, the pod of 15 dolphins swims out to intercept and surround the predator, to make it clear that the shark is unwelcome. “Dolphins can be very aggressive when they need to be,” Marine mammal scientist Gwen Penry of the Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth“They are not always the happy and smiling animals that people believe but are also top predators and can be very aggressive around big sharks.”
“The dolphins are letting the shark know it has been seen and that they are there and just making it clear that it would be wiser to move off elsewhere” she adds.
