Orca Uses Bait To Hunt Bird

Orca Uses Bait To Hunt Bird

I hadn't seen this before.  Pretty funny to me.  He swims up and drops the fish  waiting for a bird to come out and grab it.

I guess the orca was tired of eating fish.

Yuck.  The whale gets a mouthful of feathers for its trouble.
Still pretty cool how it uses bait to catch the bird.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The funny part to me was how it just sits there waiting.  If it could talk I imagine it would be saying "here birdy, birdy.  See the tasty fish."

It did seem that way.  Funny stuff.

Every-body cheers for the orca. 

It backs up all of a foot, and lies there smiling at them with its big wide open pointy teeth filled mouth.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

(Parenthetical thoughts)

((Feathers, yes.  But he's still got the fish))

(((I thought hunting over bait was illegal.)))

((((Animals aren't stupid.  They just don't think with words.))))

(((((Giving credit to the above cartoon is like having to give credit for a Shakespeare quote.  I hope the artist takes that uncredited cartoon as the highest of compliments.)))))
