About the Sardine

Sardines are small, silvery fish that swim together in enormous groups. When a school of sardines is chased, it twists and turns as one, flashing and swirling to confuse the hunters. These little fish are an important meal for many bigger ocean animals, from tuna to seabirds. Print this for an ocean unit and trace the path through the swirling school.
