In this video a Great Blue Heron swallows a very large fish.

These birds are like ninjas

Amazing footage! That looks like a huge fish (do you know what kind?) the bird caught! The fish was struggling, but the hungry Heron managed to fully consume (alive?!) it all okay? It looked like the unlucky thing still gave a desperate tail flap going down that long neck! I wonder, does the large fish stand any chance of escaping if eaten in that condition? Maybe it can turn around inside the elastic throat/stomach and has a chance of survival here.

Maybe a catfish. I would say the fish had zero chance of escaping once it was swallowed. Even before that it was a goner.

Brilliant

Why he kept fish down twice🙄

[@Hakucho64]

He has to regrip it to get it in the head-first swallowing position. At first he has his beak stuck sideways through the fish, he has to put it down to pick it up the right way for swallowing. Also he had a big strand of water weed in his beak that he wanted to get rid of.

I wonder how a heron can still get in the air after a meal that big. Nice one.
