Very cool predatory fish. They hunted by echolocation from what I could tell, and they may well have been zapping their prey also. I always figured they'd be something like an elephant-nose or baby whale, but their behavior was way different.

The F/W dolphins were in the amazon river...

Sorry Rob don't know about reruns, I'd guess they'll be on a couple times this week though. Some cool film of the freshwater seals from Siberia though.
