  • From BBC Learning English, this is Learning English from the News,

  • our podcast about the news headlines.

  • In this programme, the strange way that octopuses and fish work together.

  • Hello, I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Pippa.

  • In this programme,

  • we look at one news story and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.

  • You can find all the vocabulary and headlines from this episode as well as a worksheet on our website bbclearningenglish.com.

  • So, let's hear more about this story.

  • Scientists have discovered fish and octopuses that work together to hunt for food.

  • During dives in the Red Sea, a team of scientists filmed octopuses and fish for 120 hours.

  • They say the videos show octopuses, which are usually thought of as solitary creatures,

  • working together with other fish to catch more food like small fish and shellfish.

  • Let's have our first headline.

  • This one's from Nature, an academic science magazine.

  • Octopuses and fish caught on camera hunting as a team.

  • And that headline again from Nature, that's an academic science magazine.

  • Octopuses and fish... caught on camera hunting as a team.

  • We're looking at the phrase caught on camera and this is talking about the videos that the scientists took as part of their research.

  • So, we have caught, which is the past of the verb to catch, and it has lots of meanings.
