Snake Eel Dangling Out Of Heron's Stomach Midair

Meanwhile, a picture of a snake eel dangling from the stomach of a flying heron has been going viral. The heron regretted eating the snake eel which burst out of the stomach of the flying bird in its desperate bid to evade death. The surprising fact is that the photo shows the eel bursting of the stomach of the bird, which seems unharmed and continues to fly. Sam Davis who clicked this picture on the Delaware Shore offered more insights to Live Science. He said that a lot of baby eagles and even a fox was attracted by this uncommon incident and were following the heron.
