Description

I hope that this is not a boring series. The next trick is for Big Blue to turn the fish around so that he can swallow it head first. If he doesn’t do this, the dorsal fin, on the fish, can get stuck in Big Blue’s throat. Do not let this gross you out – it is just survival of the fittest. Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

Interesting series, Dana. Rather than swallow it in one gigantic gulp, why doesn't the Great Blue just drop the fish on the ground, stand on it with one foot, rip it apart and then eat it in small pieces? Then again, maybe the bird is fastidious and doesn't want to get the fish dirty.
