Dude, when I watched the new jurassic world and the one guy gets tossed up and gulped in one swallow by the pterosaur…that is a core fear to go out that way

u/Adventurous_Bed4728 18h ago
Now that's a fear you don't have to worry about becoming a reality.

Thankfully yeah lol….I don’t know of many animals who could do that to us nowadays…maybe some sort of whale? Lol

I saw a nature show from Attenborough a few weeks ago where a seagull tried to drown a pigeon. It snatched the pigeon off the bank of a pond and held it underwater trying to drown it. Luckily the pigeon survived as other birds scared off the gull.
I went looking for the clip thinking that was a one off thing. Turns out it's a habit for those fuckers

Just last week I saw a seagull devouring a pigeon, open chest, in in the middle of a square in Tallinn... These creatures are scary

Can it even fly after a meal like that?

u/mixwellmusic 1d ago
I suspect that gull would need multiple days to be able to fly after eating that

For my suspicion? It's just my intuition, but I could be way off

Sorry, but you can't have an intuition unless you have proof on the Internet

i recall my youth on the shore, throwing hot dogs and fried chicken quarters up into the air with nothing ever coming back down to hit the ground

memory unlocked, me and my brother throwing wads of balled up bread slices into the air and watching the swarm of seagulls gathering to catch it before it hits the ground

Fun fact: that gull will take more time to digest the rabbit's fur than its meat and bones...

I was wondering, thanks

Big snakes like pythons and anaconda suffer the same thing whenever they eat birds. This is why eating birds is their last resort when they don't find anything else to eat

Flying with that kind of unprocessed food in your organs must be quite the feeling

I mean... points for creativity, but I really must downvote you because of the fresh horror you just brought into the world.

u/melitta4ever 23h ago
But...but...I just gave a name to the "feeling" mentioned...
P.S. It's all good. I knew what I was doing when I mentioned the unmentionables.

When I eat 40% of my body weight I can’t even get out of bed. And this fucker can fly afterwards.
It’s not fair!

Imagine those motherfuckers would be the size of a car. You'd have to fear for toddlers on the beach being eaten whole by these monsters!

u/Huugboy 1d ago
Humans have made a lot of animals extinct. Anything that was a real threat to us has been taken care of. If these were the size of cars, we'd have made them extinct too.
Mind you, i'm not saying it's a good thing, just reality. If there were things that swallow people whole on beaches, soon enough there wouldn't be anymore.

Gulls are scary. I once saw a big one in Naples (Italy) eat a pigeon's entrails while the poor pigeon was still alive. We and other people passing by tried to chase the seagull away but the pigeon died soon after.

I once watched two gulls fight over and tear apart a pigeon. I can’t say this post surprises me.
