This video documents the hunting, feeding and nesting habits of the Anhinga in the Everglades, revealing why the Anhinga is uniquely adapted to its Environment.
I have one living on my dock, he somehow got a string wrapped tightly around his beak. He was like that for days, it was so hard to watch. I ended up putting nails halfway into the wood on both sides of where he usually stands. Thankfully he was able to use them to scrape it off 🙏🏻. I never saw him so happy as he was that day. Beautiful creatures. ❤ 🦅 ❤
I have the same situation with a female at the back for my house. I have been trying to catch it wit big net but it flies away then returns about an hour later. Its had the string net stuff around its beak for about 4 days. Im waiting for it to get lethargic so I can get to it and get the string off. It cant open its mouth
There is so much to love about anhingas, and I do love these birds. Thanks for the video and the information about them. There’s a lake used for a reservoir in West Palm Beach just west of Australian Ave., and I drive by it frequently. There are young cypress trees along the shore, and there is nearly always at least one anhinga there displaying its beauty with its wings spread to dry in the sun. I’m grateful every time I get to see one as I drive by.
I just saw one of these birds up close in the Savannah River in Augusta, GA. Beautiful! Was so surprised when I saw him dive underwater. Thanks for making and sharing this video!
I saw one yesterday she was on a fence fell down and very slow moving but able to spread her wings and swim so idk if she's hurt or that's how they behave.
I agree 100%, I took a solo vacation to the Everglades and had the best experience watching one. He perched on a limb right above me and dried out and preened itself, then flew to the water and swam right under. I agree with your ranking.
I just brought an anhinga to a wildlife rehab center in Fort Pierce, Florida! I’ve read that they don’t have the ability to waterproof their feathers with oil the way ducks do (which is why they dry their feathers by spreading them out).
Darters also known as anhingas or snakebirds may look like a duck mixed with a heron, but they are more closely related to pelicans, cormorants, shags, frigatebirds, boobies, gannets, and tropicbirds.
Amazing footage! That looks like a pretty large fish (do you know what kind?) she caught near 1:40! The fish was struggling, but the hungry Anhinga (a tan-necked female I believe.) managed to fully consume (alive?!) it all okay? It looked like the unlucky thing was desperately kicking sliding down that long throat! I wonder, does the sizable 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.
Just get eaten by the big bird that got a tall neck the tall neck broke swallowed us fish down his throat and after when he was done with that he didn't hit me up a face different kind of birds you don't know some kind of birth between my water some don't so solution is the birds kiss them so noses and is the birds planet in the water is that kind of birds don't swim in the water some
Instead of saying: "Designed for Survival", what you SHOULD say, is that these gluttons devour fish like you wouldn't believe, breed like rabbits, and are found everyplace in the world that has warm weather and waters with fish in them. The fact that they're protected in the US by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. doesn't exactly jeopardize the odds of their "survival". You wouldn't shoot one of these birds to take it home & eat it, you'd shoot one to thin-out the population, were it legal.
12 years later, that was still dope and informative

these birds are the best thing in the whole world

Yay! Have one that goes to perch on the same fence spot every morning
Probably the best birds ever...

A really beautiful and fascinating bird. I thought it was an egret or heron of some sort. I went up to it once, they don't think much of humans.
very well done, thank you!
Thank you, it was very interesting!
Beautiful birds
awesome video!!! i love anhingas
Thank you! Good video!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice :)
Dinosaurs must have been a trip.
They just discovered anhinga in Michigan
We don't have those in finland, but we have cormorants. Are they bigger than cormorants?
thank you
Show!
More videos of this bird please
Excellent in every way, exposing God's magnificent creation. (Job chapter 38)

like you said designed !
3:50 it would swallow its baby
The male during his mating dance sounds like an Ewok.
Or the devil bird they call em in Michigan
Looking at your other comments it's sad how greedy some people are.

Typical
They're not found every place in the world, unless the population thinned down so badly in the last seven years.
