HOODIE'S EXPLOITS - Phase Three

Three Images: DINNER TIME for Mrs. Hoodie.

In the above image, Mrs. Hoodie catches a pretty large Crayfish.


She shakes it a bit and seems to be washing any dirt off.


Then she just swallows it whole.

NOTE: The time between the first and last images is only about three seconds. I managed six shots in this interval.

Click "NEXT" Phase Four, The final Chapter in the EXPLOITS of Mr. Hoodie. "HOODIE LOOSES DINNER."
