This eel came up with the idea of using this hard tip to get out of the bird’s stomach instead Unfortunately from the photographs it seems that the snake eel did not survive and failed to escape
M Davis said he went to the wildlife sanctuary to photograph foxes, eagles « and anything that might be interesting »
He observed two eagles and a fox following the heron and thought they might be about to strike
« When I got home and edited the photos I could see it was an eel going through his neck I could see his eyes and he was still alive, » said M Davis
« The wildlife refuge said it had never seen anything like it before. It’s kind of a morbid photo »
Martin Fowlie, an RSPB expert, told MailOnline that snake eels had been recorded trying to dig a fish before « to escape consumption »
« I am surprised that the heron always flies with what must be a big hole I imagine the bird will not survive such an injury »
