‘Spreading the love’: Watch a school of fish form ‘incredible’ shape off Florida
You would have thought it was Valentine’s Day off the coast of Juno Beach, Florida, last week.
Wildlife photographer Paul Dabill posted a video on Instagram of a school of fish that made the most romantic, lovely shape.
The footage taken last Tuesday off of Juno Beach with an air drone shows the fish incredibly forming an almost perfect heart.
Dabill writes in the caption that they were crevalle jacks, common both in shore and open waters, according to the FWC.
As the creatures swim in the video, the giant glistening heart floats along, too.
The Jupiter resident told South West News Service he was originally looking for mullet, and caught this incredible seconds-long sight by pure accident.
Instagram commenters also saw the romance in the sea, too.
“If the first two seconds don’t look like a heart, I don’t know what does,” wrote one.
“Incredible footage!” posted another.
“Jacks were spreading the love,” replied the photog, with the hashtags #lovetheocean, #nature_perfection and #pureflorida.
Fish of the same species traveling in unison is not unusual – they do this to stay safe in numbers and basically not get eaten by other, bigger fish – and often end up looking like a group of synchronized swimmers.
