00:00 This pigeon was eaten by the seagulls.
00:03 The majority of gulls, particularly the loris species, are ground-nesting carnivores that
00:08 eat live food or scavenge opportunistically.
00:12 Crustaceans, mollusks, fish, and small birds are common live foods.
00:20 Despite the fact that the squirrel did everything it could to save its child, the baby squirrel's
00:25 death is certain.
00:28 After multiple bites, the squirrel will die, and the gull will bring it back to its nest.
00:36 To satisfy the hunger of multiple gulls, this flock of birds attacks large prey, such as
00:42 baby seals.
00:44 Newborn harbor pups weigh between 8 and 12 kilograms, so it will be a successful hunt
00:49 day for the birds.
00:53 The seal managed to escape and return to its herd.
01:00 Seagulls have excellent vision, even better than humans, and are one of the few birds
01:05 with eyes that can move in their sockets.
01:08 So a flying seagull's eye will never miss a meal, as was the case with this snake.
01:16 The bird bit the head to kill it, without being bitten back by the snake.
01:25 The seagull hunts smaller birds like this sparrow in two simple steps.
01:29 The first is to surprise it and catch it.
01:32 The second is to swallow it alive.
01:36 It's an easy meal on the go for the seagull.
01:41 After biting this rat several times, the gull drags it away from the road and waits until
01:47 it feels motionless.
01:52 When that happens, the bird places it on the ground to see if it is still alive.
01:58 If it isn't, the rat is ready to be eaten, and the gull swallows it.
