Bird Swallows Eel After Struggle
06/14/09 - Amazing
“A hungry bird was seen struggling to eat a 4ft long eel for 20 minutes before swallowing it whole on the banks of a city river. Eyewitnesses said the eel was almost twice the size of the cormorant which was fishing in the River Taff near the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. One woman said the eel coiled itself round the bird’s neck causing it to drop and re-catch it four times. The RSPB said the incident proved that nature’s wonders can be seen in cities. Eyewitness Antonia Jennings, 18, said at first the cormorant versus eel battle seemed “an unfair fight.” w/ photos
