The animal kingdom always has an ability to amaze. Predators stalk with accuracy, prey fight to live, and nature sometimes shows its hardest side. But would a bird actually swallow a living rabbit whole? A viral clip has shocked social media by depicting nothing else.

Rabbit Swallowed Whole by Seagull
The video, posted by @detailedexplanation on Instagram, displays a seagull next to a rabbit hole. The bird drags the rabbit out, grips its head tightly, and then swallows it alive. Normally, seagulls feed on fish, insects, crabs, snails, or even smaller birds and eggs. Watching one consume a rabbit in this manner has shocked many viewers.

Commenters explained that seagulls are opportunistic hunters. These birds adapt what they eat depending on what is presented to them. That adaptability explains how they can thrive along the coastline as well as in the city. This video indicates how far such adaptability will take the bird, with the bird successfully bringing down prey larger than anticipated. Some of the viewers proposed that the seagull must have been extremely hungry in order to try to catch something so large.

A third described the spectacle as "terrifying."
