Dolphins often work together to hunt by surrounding a school of fish. The fish are then trapped, and any that try to escape go right towards the dolphins. They may also blow bubbles (which oddly enough, terrifies the fish) and they won't dare to cross that "line." Instead, they try to jump over the bubbles above the water's surface. Because they are surrounded by dolphins, they jump right into their mouths.
Often times, dolphins may simply hunt alongside each other (for example, if they are looking for crustaceans or fish under the sand). In that case, they don't work as a team, but they are close together.
