There's a Wave Made Out of Fish

The video explores the wave phenomenon, where sulfur mollies, small fish in Mexico, mimic a wave to deter predators. Living in sulfur-rich waters, these fish face oxygen scarcity and predation. Their wave behavior, triggered by predator presence, confuses predators, doubling the time birds wait to attack. This survival tactic is likened to the human wave seen in sports events.
