Biologie     Verklarende woordenlijst (b.v. epibenthic)

Found in shallow inshore (Ref. 122680) and deep offshore waters (Refs. 1394, 118705). Typically in groups of 10 to 60 individuals (Ref. 801). Food sharing is observed in this species, and they travel in a broad band up to several kilometers wide in order to increase success of finding prey (Ref. 122680). Feeds primarily on fish like mahi mahi and yellowfin tuna (Ref. 122680) and cephalopods (Refs. 801, 1394, 118705); was reported to attack small cetaceans and, on one occasion, even a humpback whale (Ref. 1394).
