沙丁魚羣"僞裝"海豚求生
An enormous shoal of sardines has been photographed appearing to adopt a disguise as they swim in the formation of a dolphin. Steve De Neef photographed the fish near Cebu in the Philippines grouping together to protect themselves from predators, the Daily Telegraph of London reported. He said: "There are sardines as far as you can see and there must be thousands of them. Getting the picture of the dolphin shape was just about being in the right spot at the right time. I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence but it would be to their benefit if they could imitate a larger animal."
據英國《每日電訊報》報道，攝影師史蒂夫·德·尼夫在菲律賓宿務島海底拍到一個龐大的沙丁魚羣"僞裝"成一隻海豚的畫面，它們聚集到一起以逃避捕食者的威脅。尼夫說："在視線所及的範圍內，滿眼全是沙丁魚，應該有成千上萬只。能拍到海豚形的沙丁魚羣純屬偶然，因爲抓住時機選擇了合適的拍攝地點。但魚羣如果能學會模仿龐大動物，應該對生存很有幫助。"
