Party-crashing sharks cause chaos in massive school of fish

Aug. 24 (UPI) -- A drone operator taking footage off the coast of New York state captured video of the moment a group of hungry sharks gate-crashed a massive school of fish.

Tovi Sonnenberg posted a video to YouTube showing a gigantic school of menhaden, or bunker fish, swarming a short distance from the coast of Bridgehampton.

The video shows a group of sharks show up and the fish suddenly part to give the predators a wide berth as they fly into a feeding frenzy.

"A storm pushes several massive schools of fish 500 meters [1,640 feet] from the shore. And with fish come predators. This video contains extremely rare footage of a shark feeding frenzy right off the coast of the famous Hamptons beaches," Sonnenberg wrote.
