Nekoda used his echolocation to locate some nearby prey. Dashing up from between the coral, he shot his slim body through a school of slivery fish, snapping his beak closed on one's midsection. As he gulped down the fish, nearby splashing instantly caught his attention. Swimming upwards to breathe, his top half surfaced just as another dolphin shot through the water in a leaping breach. Another dolphin! The Bottlenose dashed back below the surface, searching for the dolphin he was sure he'd seen, when a huge figure nearby caught his eye. Because of its distance, the details on the figure were faded, making it simply look like an enormous dolphin-like creature. That can't be a dolphin... Nekoda thought. Since he was sure he'd lost track of what he knew was a dolphin, he focused on the strange shape, remaining stationary in the water as he strained to see it from afar.
After a good half an hour of frozen, silent waiting, the tides slowly started to turn into Manoah's favor. The small jackal, obviously rummaging for food, had slowly began to stalk in his direction. Shifting on his dainty paws, the Tazzie Tiger tensed his muscles in anticipation of the kill to come.
