Once you hear about crocodiles, your first reaction may be that they are too fierce.
People have to run away in front of crocodiles.
However, the recent news about a great blue heron preying on a crocodile, swallowing it in one bite, and taking 25 minutes to finish it has sparked a lot of discussions.
What is this? Is there a time when a crocodile is swallowed alive?
Indeed, this is true and was captured by a photographer.
So the biological world is really peculiar, nature is full of wonders and such things can be encountered.
In itself, of course, the biological world is a state of capture and captured creatures.
At the same time, creatures are only in this state, it is possible to achieve a more balanced pattern.
It is completely normal for animals to be predated each other. In our brain, crocodiles should be huge creatures only, and in Asia, America, and Oceania they are at least 1.5 meters or more.
How could it be swallowed by the Great Blue Heron, which is completely incredible?
Crocodiles are generally thicker and heavier, so being swallowed is indeed a bit unbelievable.
But the Great Blue Heron swallowed only a small crocodile this time.
It took a long time for the blue heron to swallow the crocodile alive.
First of all, let's learn about the Blue Heron.
The Blue Heron is a common wading bird in North America, Central America, the West Indies, and the Galapagos Islands.
The entire population is composed of five subspecies and has a body length of 137 cm, making it a giant creature.
One of the greatest features of the Great Blue Heron is that behind its head, it has two crown feathers like a braid, so it is very well identified.
The main food is usually fish or species such as frogs, snakes, and turtles.
The species is non-threatened, which means that the population is relatively large.
But what we didn't expect was that this time Blue Heron actually met a crocodile that he could swallow alive. So it looks like there is a very powerful feeling.
The heron was first picking up the little crocodile with its long beak. Then with a direct fling, it fed the head of the crocodile into its own mouth.
So it looks like the action is very smooth. But in the process of swallowing a complete crocodile alive, there were times when it looked very hard. So it took a total of 25 minutes to swallow it.
The 25 minutes was probably the hardest for the crocodile. But as we said this is a small crocodile.
If it is a giant or adult crocodile, the blue heron is also completely powerless.
Initially, the photographer thought that the blue heron might be eating a fish.
But after seeing it through a magnifying glass, he realized that it was a crocodile. Only this crocodile is a little smaller.
Of course, even if the crocodile got rid of the mouth, but also can not get rid of the blue heron chase, completely not on the same level.
This is an accidental death among creatures, and no one knows that the next one will become someone else's food.
The crocodile doesn't think about how long it has been born, and soon it has already become someone else's food.
So life is really short, and it can end unintentionally.
