Default Nature > * v. Heron

These amazing pictures show how cruel nature can sometimes be as a grey heron snacks on a rabbit.

Herons mainly eat fish but will also take birds and small mammals. This one was searching for a meal when it spotted the baby rabbit emerging from a hole.

Swooping down it grabbed its prey by the ears, took it to water and drowned it - then swallowed the rabbit whole.





















tastes good man

I think it was just dipping it in sauce. I do the same thing to my chicken fingers.

Sometimes when no one is looking, I like to kick pidgeons to remind them not to trust humans
