The picture shows thousands of small fish moving in a coordinated manner simultaneously in the same direction.
A video is going viral on social media in which a group of fishes are coming together to form a tornado-like structure. The location where this vast ocean bottom formed is not known, but shows thousands of small fish moving together in a coordinated manner in the same direction – called schooling – and forming a vortex. The creatures that live under the sea are known to have a different quality and mesmerizing than their abilities and this video is no different.
The video was originally posted to Instagram on July 7 by Tatsuro of Japan, who describes himself as a marine photographer. His videos have garnered over 3.6 million views and over 2.4 lakh likes.
On his Instagram profile, Tatsuro posts pictures from his vast and exquisite collection of exquisite marine photography.
The now-viral “fish tornado” video shows several small fry swimming together in a clockwise manner, much like gusts of wind, to create whirlpools.
The post’s comments section has been flooded with user comments who were perplexed by this unusual fish pattern.
One user wrote, “My god what a beautiful video. This is awesome. Thank you so much for the video in this class.” Another simply said, “Wonderful.”
According to a website named eat blue, the phenomenon is similar to that of murmurs – when very large flocks of birds, fish or insects move and change direction simultaneously. The sound that comes out when birds move in tandem is what gives the murmur its name.
