A Cormorant & The Fish That Almost Got Away – Action Sequence
Cormorants have an impressive fishing technique of diving and chasing fish underwater using their powerful webbed feet and awesome underwater vision.
Once they hook a fish with their beak, the Cormorant returns to the surface to toss and swallow it.
After this Cormorant resurfaced with its catch, it missed the toss! The fish tried desperately to get away; but the Cormorant was too quick to let that happen.
