Hungry Bird Swallows Large Prey Whole A struggling eel becomes prey for a dining cormorant bird

A struggling eel becomes prey for a hungry dining cormorant bird that swallows large prey in whole portions when it eats animals for food. Water animals of large proportions are eaten alive regularly by this aquatic avian animal using a specially adapted swallowing technique for toothless birds when they feed. The cormorant is a meat-eating predatory aquatic bird species that attacks and feeds on other animals; they are carnivorous predators; they are top predators and are exceptional hunters of all kinds of water prey animals that live and breed in and around the water. Cormorants are water-dwelling avians who have an incredible instinct to attack and eat other animals by diving and swimming through the water in pursuit of their prey; they are excellent swimmers who swim with great stealth and speed to surprise and attack animals that live beneath the water. This feeding behavior has evolved over millions of years, enabling them to have an extensive menu of wild protein-rich food.
