00:00 The great blue heron is a huge wading bird that can be found near open waters margins
00:05 and in wetlands throughout most of North and Central America.
00:09 This bird likes the taste of mice and squirrels.
00:12 He travels around the area until he notices two squirrels on the go.
00:16 They were busy to dig for grains and seeds when the heron approaches them, almost invisible.
00:22 In a sudden move, he takes him off the ground.
00:29 The poor animal, shockingly surprised by the attack, tries to escape the grip of the heron,
00:36 who continues to press on the squirrel's body, denying him the opportunity to escape.
00:42 The rodent moves desperately for his life as the heron enjoys a game of time, knowing
00:53 that the meal order is picked, and all he has to do is waiting.
01:06 Gophers or ground squirrels belong also to rodents, but instead of living on the trees,
01:11 they prefer the soil life.
01:15 This heron spots a gopher in the grass and decides to set some ground rules.
01:20 The first rule is, "Little gopher, you'll be my lunch."
01:26 He catches him, cracks his bones to make him easier to swallow.
01:30 What a brutal way to die.
01:42 Herons do not feed on soil animals.
01:44 They also enjoy eating water animals.
01:47 This heron catches a small turtle and cracks her shell under the repetitive bites of his
01:51 strong leafy peck.
02:00 This is definitely heaven for the heron.
02:13 (water splashing)
