Scrolling down your social media platforms, you must have come across several video clips screening wild and pet animals with their bizarre actions. Some video clips steal hearts with their cuteness, while others surprise people and raise goosebumps. Just like this video, where a seagull was seen devouring a squirrel in one go, left the netizens dumbfounded.
The viral video shows a seagull standing on the pavement with a squirrel in its mouth. The peckish bird is then seen gobbling it down, leaving the tail hanging out of its mouth.
The bird managed to swallow the squirrel in just over a minute and then flew away after filling its stomach.
Even though squirrel is not one of the preferred meals of the seagull, the grisly scene isn’t all that out of the ordinary, according to experts.
“Large gulls are omnivorous,” Peter Rock, an avian specialist at the University of Bristol, told The Guardian. “They will eat anything as long as it fits down their throat. And, of course, as long as it is moderately nutritious,” added Rock.
The extraordinary encounter has left netizens amazed. Here’s how netizens reacted to the video of a bird eating a squirrel.
“Bro ate a whole squirrel. This is crazy!” posted a user. “The only birds I hate in my life,” shared another. “Savage,” expressed a third. “This is gross to the point of ridiculous gross,” commented a fourth.
