Horrifying footage shows the moment a hungry seagull ate a squirrel whole. The peckish bird shocked onlookers as it scooped up the rodent with its beak at the side of a road. Video shows the gull gobbling down the animal with its tail hanging out its mouth before swallowing it in just over a minute and flying away. Seagulls have been known to eat fish, insects, other birds, and small mammals. Viewers were shocked at the bizarre footage. Liz Goss said: “I’m traumatised. I will never look at them the same.”
Was the squirrel already dead?
It’s not obvious from the video but I assume it was roadkill - squirrels are pretty nippy and a seagull would struggle to kill one, let alone eat it alive.
That was my guess also.
As dead as that journalist’s future career
