Dance of the sardines

It may be the largest creature on display in this aquarium but it isn't the ma...in attraction. Instead it's these little guys that are the stars of this show. At this aquarium in Japan around ten thousand sardines have moved into the neighbourhood. They're sharing their tank with two Sand Tiger sharks and numerous squid. Visitors to the aquarium seem impressed by the seemingly choreographed dance: SOUNDBITE (Japanese) MIHO TSUJIMATSU, 15-YEAR-OLD VISITOR SAYING: "I'm not a big fish eater, but I love watching them. It was really beautiful, I'm glad I came." Things really heat up with the some bait is added to the mix. This aquarium official explains the fishy art form: SOUNDBITE Japanese) KAYO MANABE, PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER AT YOKOHAMA HAKKEIJIMA SEA PARADISE, SAYING: "Japanese sardines tend to be quite tense and swim around in a circle but when we throw the bait down at them they follow it down creating a pillar. Then when sharks charge into them they change shape again. " This visitor was surprised the display didn't turn into a scaly blood bath. SOUNDBITE(English) DANIEL KNOX, 19 YEAR-OLD VISITOR FROM NEW ZEALAND, SAYING: "I think they look really nice. I'm surprised the shark hasn't eaten them." Fortunately for the sardines their shark neighbours are not very good at catching sardines and rarely bother chasing them - the same cannot be said for the squid. Not content with adding sharks and squid to the mix, the aquarium plans to add more cast members to the show later this month. The exact nature of the newbies remains top secret but it is sure to liven up the watery act. Dargh Burke, Reuters.
