Fish kebab! Incredible pictures capture the moment a bird skewers its dinner before swallowing it whole

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Ouch! This fish meets a spikey end when a bird spears it using its beak

This hungry bird has given a new meaning to the term spear fishing after she turned her unlucky prey into a kebab.

The Anhinga bird spotted the fish swimming in a river near Miami, Florida.
She then chased it through the water after setting her sights on it for dinner.

After taking a dip, the beautiful bird expertly skewered the fish with her beak.
But the predator then shook it free before throwing it into the air and catching it in her mouth, swallowing it down in one.


Open wide: The crafty Anhinga can swim like a U-boat with its body submerged below the waterline and only its neck protruding like a periscope to creep up on its unsuspecting prey before spearing its target with a sudden thrust
