Anhinga Stabbing and Eating a Fish -- Everglades National Park, FL

- This male Anhinga bird dives into the water at the US Everglades National Park, Shark Valley Loop Road, Florida. A park volunteer, Chris, narrates. This bird swims underwater after fish, stabs one with its pointed bill, and then comes onto the bank to swallow the fish. Anhingas are known as "snake birds" because of their skinny, twisting neck and profile in the water.

I see these guys go fishing every morning in the pond behind my home. It's quite fun. Chris should have his own nature show. He has a great speaking voice and is very knowledgeable.
Chris was very informative and the video was great for an amateur
Amazing footage! That looks like a huge fish (do you know what kind?) she caught!
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 staring 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.
Didn't know Jeremy Irons was volunteering at the Everglades.
Wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have a young anhinga who has speared a fish and cannot remove the fish. It has been on our bank for almost two full days. I fear it will die. We went out to help it and it flew across the pond. But it came back this morning. It puts its beak under its wing to rest and I thought it was dying. Nature can be sad.
Okkkk
