The cormorant hauls the doomed pike headfirst out of its lake.
With its rows of needle-sharp teeth, the pike is a feared predator in the water world.
But this one hadn’t a hope when a hungry cormorant decided it was supper time.
The bird pounced on the foot-long pike with its hooked bill and pulled it to the surface of a lake.
The two antagonists grappled for a few seconds before, in one swift movement, the magnificent bird extended and twisted its neck in preparation for supper.
Twist in the tail: Size is no obstacle for the cormorant, which simply unhinges its jawbone and lets the pike slide out of sight down its elastic throat.
