NARRATOR: And here's a pro tip. The best place to catch
this breathless migration is at the ends of the beach,
and bring a red light. Flashlights tend to scare them off. And what about the grunion eggs? They stay buried in the sand
until the next high tide, around 10 days. BECKWITH: They're burying them
just about an inch or two below the surface of the sand. So, you don't want to disturb those eggs
'cause once they're exposed, those young don't have
a really good chance of survival
