The Fish That Dance on the Beach 🕺

What happens

On a full-moon night at La Jolla, California, silver grunion fish surf up onto the sand and wiggle like they're dancing. Sea lions bark from the rocks so loudly the ref's whistle can't be heard, and the breaking waves glow blue.

Fun facts

• Grunion lay their eggs on the beach and the next big waves carry the babies out to sea.
• Sometimes the breaking waves glow blue at night.
• Sea lions bark to talk to each other.
