WATCH: Kingfisher Catches Way More Fish Than It Bargained for

50 Campfires

Do you ever feel like your eyes are bigger than your stomach? One kingfisher ended up catching five fish at the same time, which is very impressive, but they barely fit in its beak. Harry Collins caught the moment on film, and you can almost see the kingfisher thinking, “oh no, this is too many . . . now what?”

Collins says the kingfisher’s dilemma made for the “craziest” video he filmed this year. “This kingfisher somehow managed to catch 5 small fish at one time!!” he wrote in his Instagram post sharing the footage. “For the record to address the accusations when previously posted, this is not AI . . . no, the fish weren’t laid on the ground for the kingfisher [. . .] It’s as simple as it dove into the pond, caught these and flew back up all in a matter of a couple of seconds.”

You might not guess what happens next as the fish continue to struggle in the kingfisher’s beak. Do you think he managed to eat them all?
