Cormorant (Skarv / Phalacrocorax carbo) #12

Cormorant (Skarv / Phalacrocorax carbo) has caught a large eel diving at the wharf at Nysted harbour.
- the strong eel tries to wiggle for the life, but all his toil went for nothing even though the
Cormorant is a little troubled swallowing the eel

amazing series. I have often wondered what happens when a bird swallows something that is still alive. I would have though that the Eel would damage the Cormorants internals.
