Rich in proteins and fats

Palolo worms are the caviar of the South Pacific.

This may be a short-lived feast

But living in the South Pacific

means making the most of anything going.

Every year, in June

Tiger sharks appear in the shallow waters

around this scattering of tiny, sandy islands.

They've travelled hundreds of miles

in anticipation of an event that lasts less than two weeks.

And their timing is impeccable.

Albatross chicks are sitting ducks.

The sharks may have lost the element of surprise

But their high visibility will make little difference

to the albatross chicks' behaviour.

Right now, the focus is on flying.
