we just get a new species then this happens
Stool Pigeon
Here’s a heartwarming little story, and a brief diversion from weightier matters: according to an item in Tuesday’s Daily Mail, visitors to London’s St. James Park were witnesses to an epic struggle as a pelican grappled with a pigeon. According to the report, it took the venturesome waterfowl — pelicans customarily dine exclusively on fish — fully twenty minutes to engulf its peristeronic snack. The enpouched pigeon (with worried look in image below) fought vigorously, but vainly, to escape, and ended up, apparently still alive, in the larger bird’s belly.
