Amazing capture here! So can the pelican really gulp down that huge fish entirely okay?? Can you see the fish desperately wriggling about inside the birds pouch the entire time and does the fish put up a good fight, if eaten, does the unlucky prey get swallowed down wriggling the entire way as well?!
