This is actually a size fairly easy for an Anhinga to swallow. Not that it doesn’t take time.

All the while the Anhinga was working on eating the fish he is looking all around for trouble. Herons and Egrets will jump right in and steal this fish if he takes too long.

This one he was able to keep, but they were heading for the steal as he finished his meal and ducked back under the water.
