Being swallowed whole, the chipmunk struggled in the giant heron's neck

However, the heron's thunderous peck did not hit the chipmunk's body. The heron's beak can only grasp one pair of squirrel's legs. Although he did not die, the chipmunk was caught by the heron and could not escape.

Catching its prey, the heron does not hesitate to tilt its head back to swallow the mouse even though it is still alive.

Being swallowed alive, the chipmunk tried to struggle inside the heron's neck in the hope of escaping. This causes the feathery skin on the heron's neck to vibrate periodically according to the chipmunk's movements, creating a terrifying scene. Even so, the chipmunk still cannot escape the predator, becoming a hearty meal for the heron.

With its large appearance and long hard beak, the heron is a fearsome predator. They can eat anything that fits in their beak. Their main food is mainly fish but they also eat insects, mice, shrimp, crabs and small mammals, even frogs, snakes, crocodiles.

Herons often hunt in waters as shallow as half a meter. They often stand still in one place waiting for prey. When it sees its prey approaching, the heron flies its neck and head into the water and stabs its beak into the prey. Heavenly pecks will continuously strike the prey until they collapse.
