Imagine you're in a line with your friends, and everyone starts moving together, like a wave. Fish school the same way! Each fish watches the one in front of it and follows its lead. If they all do this, the whole group moves as one big team. It’s like a game of follow-the-leader but for thousands of fish at once.
Why It Matters: This helps them find food and escape from predators. When they move together, it's harder to catch just one fish.
Examples
- A school of fish turns quickly like a wave, all following each other just like kids lining up for recess.
- One fish starts swimming sideways, soon the whole group follows it, making it look like one big moving shape.
- Fish in a school move together as if they’re dancing to the same music.
