Until I saw this pic this am, I never knew herons would go for rabbits or any mammals -- I thought they were strictly fish, snake, frog, and crustacean eaters. That part was interesting ... But .. it looks to me, per the second pic, that the heron is going to choke on that rabbit.
Take the raptors, for example, many of whom do take the furry and four-legged. Don't they have special digestion in order to do it, which eventually passes through their system in identifiable pellets? Think about ... swallowing fur. What I was wondering was if herons have such digestion too, or if the pic captures a really freak occurence.
