@onewildlifer: Spearfishing. Anhingas are incredibly formidable hunters. And that bill is a world-class weapon. As badazz as great blue herons are, I've seen them back down from an anhinga. Little wonder since anhingas are so stabby. 😆 That dagger-like bill is built for grabbing fish, and tiny backward-facing serrations help them hold onto slippery prey. While the impaling is impressive, have you ever watched an anhinga try to get a fish off its bill when its stuck? 😬 Let's just say... it can be far more intense than what we see here. It amazes me when people get close to these birds. Every time I see that I think: "Welp, they aren't even as smart as a heron." 🤣 Everglades National Park, FL #birds #nature #wildlife
