Figure 3

Reconstructed track of the dive in which the predation event took place, colored by the estimated active metabolic rate (AMRE; mgO2 kg−1 h−1). (a) and (b) show different perspectives of the depth profile and associated changes in direction, while (c) and (d) are overhead views, with (d) being zoomed in on the pursuit portion at the surface. The numbers displayed in (d) represent the approximate location of the sequential capture attempts displayed in Fig. 4, and as seen in the supplemental video. Sailfish silhouettes indicate direction of travel.
