Feast of Predators

Feast of Predators
52 mins : Documentary
This is the story of a courageous seal that follows one of the greatest migrations on Earth – the Sardine Run. Each year millions of sardines move up to the east coast of South Africa and their migration awakens a following of formidable predators. Huge flocks of Cape gannets, thousands of dolphins and hundreds of sharks mount attacks from the air and the depths of the ocean.
