00:00 This pigeon was eaten by the seagulls.

00:03 The majority of gulls, particularly the loris species, are ground-nesting carnivores that

00:08 eat live food or scavenge opportunistically.

00:12 Crustaceans, mollusks, fish, and small birds are common live foods.

00:20 Despite the fact that the squirrel did everything it could to save its child, the baby squirrel's

00:25 death is certain.

00:28 After multiple bites, the squirrel will die, and the gull will bring it back to its nest.

00:36 To satisfy the hunger of multiple gulls, this flock of birds attacks large prey, such as

00:42 baby seals.

00:44 Newborn harbor pups weigh between 8 and 12 kilograms, so it will be a successful hunt

00:49 day for the birds.

00:53 The seal managed to escape and return to its herd.

01:00 Seagulls have excellent vision, even better than humans, and are one of the few birds

01:05 with eyes that can move in their sockets.

01:08 So a flying seagull's eye will never miss a meal, as was the case with this snake.

01:16 The bird bit the head to kill it, without being bitten back by the snake.

01:25 The seagull hunts smaller birds like this sparrow in two simple steps.

01:29 The first is to surprise it and catch it.

01:32 The second is to swallow it alive.

01:36 It's an easy meal on the go for the seagull.

01:41 After biting this rat several times, the gull drags it away from the road and waits until

01:47 it feels motionless.

01:52 When that happens, the bird places it on the ground to see if it is still alive.

01:58 If it isn't, the rat is ready to be eaten, and the gull swallows it.
