A rather large lunch (1 Viewer)

This Black stork was struggling with this eel for at least half an hour.
It tried pecking it in half,it tried battering it against some rocks.
It just could'nt swallow it whole.
Eventually it gave in and tried for something smaller.
I think the eel probably weighed in at about 4-5 lbs

To bad for the eel and the stork.

that's an amazing photo, can't believe the stork thought it could get that down!!

Poor eel! Could it still swim away afterwards? Was it dead? Or maybe you took it to a rehabber ...?

Well you see when the stork initially saw such a sumptuous prospective meal, it fell for it head over eel

Some Cormorants were "storking "nearby and stole it,hard to swallow but eel probably get over it.
