Watch a scene from the PBS Nature film, Ocean Giants.
In the shallows of Florida Bay, the fish can be very difficult to catch. Dolphins solve the problem by creating V-shaped walls of mud,a fish trap. Caught in the jaws of the trap, the fish have no where to go, except up. (Video limited to U.S. & Territories.)

I am fascinated with whales and dolphins. This filming of these creaturs was FANTASTIC. I would love to witness the feeding frenzy they have. Truly amazing. Where can I go to pet the whales in the wild?
Fantastic Program. Leaves one feeling a little inferior to our ocean friends.
Wow, what an awesome 3 hour adventure! I had taken a dolphin trip with Denise Herzing 26 years ago in the Bahamas; and I would really like to find out if I can do that again. Do you know how I can contact Denise or her company to see if she is still offering these trips?
Thank you.
Does anyone know when the Ocean Giants might be rerun? I missed the last hour and don’t know where, or how I can view it? Thanks!
My family watched this series recently and was captivated.
I loved the music, especially from this segment. Is there a soundtrack, or can I find this music for sale somewhere?
Have you considered making an educational/coffee-table ebook with some of this footage included for those who want to go deeper to study these creatures?
Thank you for producing this eye-opening and terrific series.
This type of programming makes PBS unique, it’s exceptional TV. I was so engrossed in each minute of the 3 hour program, this was informative, and educational.
