Dolphin shaped sardine shoal
沙丁鱼群'伪装'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."(See photo)

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，摄影师史蒂夫·德·尼夫在菲律宾宿务岛海底拍到一个庞大的沙丁鱼群"伪装"成一只海豚的画面，它们聚集到一起以逃避捕食者的威胁。尼夫说："在视线所及的范围内，满眼全是沙丁鱼，应该有成千上万只。能拍到海豚形的沙丁鱼群纯属偶然，因为抓住时机选择了合适的拍摄地点。但鱼群如果能学会模仿庞大动物，应该对生存很有帮助。"(见图)
