Can the Heron Swallow the Fish?

July 14, 2022 1:09 pm

Jordan Lake. This juvenile great blue heron found himself a fair sized fish… actually a rather large fish. The question is: could he swallow it. The long pauses in the video are when he is letting all of his throat structures relax so that he can literally wrap himself around the fish before finishing the swallow. I hope you enjoy the meal.
