Anhinga Fishing
The anhinga is a water bird that fishes by swimming under water and spearing a fish on the end of it’s very sharp bill.
It then must shake the fish off it’s bill in order to eat it. Often the anhinga will flip a fish into mid air and then catch it head facing down for easy swallowing. It does all this while swimming.
However, if a bit of land or shoreline is nearby, the anhinga will sometimes bring the fish onto land. The idea behind this is that should it drop the fish it can still pick it back up. But if the fish was dropped into water it could be lost.
