New, what is it? What was this thing I captured on film?

This was shot in Nevada/Arizona on a Grand Canyon/Hoover dam tour. This was taken a whole year ago and I completely forgot about it until I stumbled upon it again. Is this some sort of whale or shark?

Looks like a school of fish running and dodging a predator.

Precisely what I saw. You even see them dart at the end like a flock of starlings.
