MAAnhingas love playing with their food. Just toss into the air and swallow whole. It looks easy but imagine doing this with no hands.

THBoth birds look almost the same and both dive underwater to hunt. This one appears to be an Anhinga from a quick spin of the Google machine … “Anhingas use their long, straight, pointed beak to spear their prey. Cormorants, on the other hand, use their hooked bills to grab their prey.” Fun stuff.

NAMeet the Anhinga, also known as the Snakebird! With its long neck and sharp beak, it’s a master hunter in water. It swims silently, spears fish with lightning speed, and flips them into the air to swallow whole. Found in freshwater lakes and rivers, this bird is a true underwater assassin!"

RUCaptivating...
This anhinga spends much of its day in the water where it can swim as it hunts for fish. And yes, they often do spear the fish to catch them! This one in particular is a female anhinga with its breeding colors. The brown feathers from the shoulders up is what helps to identify that its a female.
Some people refer to the anhinga as the snakebird probably due to the way it moves its neck and the way you will see just the neck and head above water when it takes a breath from swimming. While these birds can often look awkward especially when they wiggle their head and neck around to watch out while drying their wings, they can also be quite captivating as well. I get to see these all the time, but I am not sure how far their range spreads so let me know how often you get to watch these anhingas!

ALMeet the Anhinga, also known as the Snakebird! 🐍🦅 This incredible bird gets its nickname because of its long, snake-like neck that it uses to hunt underwater! 🌊🐟 Unlike most water birds, the Anhinga doesn’t have waterproof feathers, so after swimming, it spreads its wings to dry in the sun! ☀️😲 Drop a 🦅 in the comments if you love birds! #NatureIsAwesome

MIThis is what's called an Anhingas 😊 the picture at the end I actually took off Google . They are primarily in fresh or swamp waters and while swimming underwater they use their pointed beaks to spear small fish and other aquatic invertebrates . When I stopped filming he actually got a very tiny fish .. very tiny 🐟 and seemed to be very happy 😁

SEThere are some patients that can be tricky to encourage to self-feeding, and #Anhingas are one of them! We utilize a lot of different ways to try and stimulate their appetite, and one of the most common ones we use is a positive role model! The female anhinga on the right has a very healthy appetite, so perching both birds at a safe distance away but in view will allow the male anhinga on the left to watch the other one eat in the hopes that it will inspire him to enjoy his own bowl of fish. This technique works frequently but isn't foolproof, so we are continuing to monitor and do assisted feedings in the meantime.
Being in a captive situation is stressful for many of our patients, but our hospital staff work diligently every day to try to minimize our impact and create a calm environment to allow them to heal. For social species, we dedicate time for stable patients to interact with each other during "recess". For species that prefer to hide, we create visual barriers and hides inside their kennels. Understanding how each species lives is critical to wildlife rehabilitation!

AMMom always said not to play with your food but anhingas are notorious for doing this since this is the only way they can get the fish they stabbed off their beak and down the hatch. #anhingas #birds #snakebird #wildlife #nature #sonyalpha

CR⚠️Anhinga Eats Fish Whole⚠️
The American Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) belongs to the small family Anhingidae of 4 related darters… you read that right 🤯
What might seem like redundant alliteration, is actually the result of an incredibly unique bird whose build and structure is not shared by other species outside of its single genus “Anhinga” and very small 4-member family. As tribute to their uniqueness, they’ve been given many names, such as “water turkeys” after their fan-like tail feathers, “snakebirds” after their long necks that stick out of the water when swimming, and “darters” for their underwater swimming agility.
Anhingas are often seen primarily, but not exclusively, in or near freshwater bodies of water. They lack waterproof feathers that help them submerge themselves when diving and spearing for fish with their beaks. This also means that they must dry their feathers before taking flight, which explains why we often always see them just before a body of water with their wings stretched wide.
After a successful catch, they can stay in the water to swallow their prey (if size allows). However, in situations like the one above, fish that are too big and spiny can only be swallowed by sitting on a perch, beating it repeatedly, and orienting the fish in such a way that the spines don’t hurt them upon swallowing it. Anhinga’s are truly masters of their craft 🗡️🐟

KAI posted a few shots of this Anhinga with a fish a couple of months ago. I had over 200 photos of this bird. Here is a compilation of 130+ photos after she got out of the water to eat.
