Just stumbled across this fascinating capture again! It seems near impossible to me that the bird can deal with this huge fish! So the bird was actually able to fit (really swallowed alive?!) that whole thing down its long/skinny throat completely somehow?? I have never witnessed an event like this before.
I feel somewhat perplexed over how it actually happens, wouldn't the fish stand a chance of escaping or even damaging (it’s sharp fins, wriggling, biting, etc.) the bird's stomach/gullet if eaten in that condition?!
It’s hard for me to imagine that the formidable-looking fish (wouldn't the prey also go into a desperate "survival mode" once it realized that it hit the stomach?) would succumb so easily and how the bird can keep down/digest such an object with no issues?
I don't have much knowledge about these events and am mostly curious, I appreciate any feedback/explanation.
Sorry for all of the questions, have a good week
