Bluefin Tuna Eat Bait Ball | National Geographic

I guess you have never seen blue fin tuna on a bait ball lousy video this is!!

Incredible team effort from those mackerels, such fighters even though they didn't survive, but they tried till the very end!

I thought yellow fin tuna eats Jollibee chicken, KFC, macdonald's chicken and the like....😀

Big fish eat small fish. Then we eat big fish. Yummy

It is not a bait if they are just preys.

Poor mackerel!

If they all scatter in all directions at once, a lot of them will easily escape

Holy Mackerel!

While it's fun song for the other fishes...it's horror song for the poor mackerels.

I didn’t know birds went THAT deep

Poor thing, I can only imagine what covid has done to the sea..

Spent a couple of minutes in a tuna vortex on my first dive ever. 1 in 500 dives per scuba master. I would go back.

This is the worst attack on the school since columbine

They see the mackerel bait ball as an oppor-TUNA-ty to eat.

Imagine if your best defense was to go to a metal concert and mosh in the crowd hoping something wouldn't pick you off and eat you.

Basicalpy they were born to be eaten

They're afraid and clump together but it never works :(

That's depressing. They just eat them all? How does this species survive?

imagine that ball of bait on your hook, thats one big hook and a screaming reel, nonono... a flying rod and a broken reel, and maybe a broken rod too.

ive never seen a bird go so far under to get a mackerel

Shame

The ocean is amazing isn't it

See nat geo filming pulls out fishing rod

damn nature, you scary.

Note to mackerels: balling never works when dealing with dolphins or tuna. They will just use that to their advantage.

The mackerel gather to form whats known as a Buffet Ball

Eat and and get fat u bluefin! Now....bite my bait!!!!!!!

Which is why it's last resort. In the event there's no other option, it increases the chance that individuals can survive, because being alone means your chances of getting eaten are higher. If there are others around, there might be some hope of escape for the individual.

the music makes it easier to watch the Mackeral DIE!

no he died

this narrator just made nat geo fucked...

maybe it's not a defense mechanism and just a way of travel??? epic fail if attempt at defense...

i love the music. but i don't like that Predator sound.

Wtfwtfwtfwtfwtf

If this supposed defense mechanism fails so miserably, why does it stick around? It doesn't seem to scare off ANY predators. If anything, it attracts them!

13 people were once part of a bait ball.

who fimed this for nat geo??

So the dolphins are the wolves ...herds the sheep..um er..fish into a ball.... Why dont we train dolphins to fish for us...

this is why fish will never have nukes

full evolutionary fatal fail !!

Now that's a lot of fish

@soulfly7112000 Unfortunately, no, it is devoured by the mackerel. Nature can be cruel sometimes :)

สุดยอด

0:36 ...is it a dolphin far on the left ?

@Wadeeecom Man has increased extinction a tiny % in a short time, it's nothing compared to what nature has done. Meteorites and natural climate change have destroyed the vast majority of species. Man is probably responsible for about 0.5% of modern extinctions, probably less. Man is in danger of depleting fish and natural environments for animals, but the actual real number of animal extinctions is still small. Although some of them happen to be some of our favourite animals.

strength in numbers? fail in numbers

BIRDS CAN SWIM UNDER WATER!!!!...WTF!!

Wow advertisements are annoying and they are loud

@Gilmoy heh wel said (:

Catch a mackerel catch a TUNA.
