同步闪光(Shimmer in sync)
被闪闪发光的银色螺旋所包围——这就是在埃及穆罕默德角国家公园的鲨鱼礁遇到一群黑鳍梭鱼的感觉。这些流线型的鱼,以锋利的V形条纹为标志,几乎完美地同步移动。它们缓慢而刻意的螺旋不是随机的——它们是一种进化策略,在数量上提供安全性,在狩猎中提供优势。黑鳍梭鱼遍布从红海到太平洋中部的热带水域。白天,它们在礁石附近聚集成紧密、协调的群体,在黄昏时分分散开来追捕猎物。

Being surrounded by a shimmering spiral of silver—that's what it feels like to encounter a school of blackfin barracuda at Shark Reef in Ras Mohammed National Park, Egypt. These streamlined fish, marked by sharp V-shaped stripes, move in near-perfect unison. Their slow, deliberate spirals aren't random—they're an evolutionary strategy that offers both safety in numbers and an edge in hunting. Blackfin barracudas are found throughout tropical waters, from the Red Sea to the central Pacific. During the day, they gather in tight, coordinated groups near the reef, scattering at dusk to pursue prey.
