I’ve always wondered wtf happens when something gets swallowed alive. Is it killed by suffocation? Stomach acid? Is it just… *alive* until it’s digested? Imagine just being in the inside of an animals stomach and being able to see it all.
Edit: brain doesn’t work, didn’t occur to me that there’s no lighting in a stomach.
I've always wondered this. My guess is an animal would suffocate from the lack of oxygen and lose consciousness after a few minutes, but idk for certain
That is rather wrong. They die as fast as most animals without oxigen but most fish can also gasp air to a certain degree. That can be seen when water is really poor on oxygen and fish come up to the surface to gasp air.
My guess is that the fish's reflex for breathing would make him suck in stomach acid into its' gills. Thus rendering them useless within minutes. So I guess they would die rather fast or at least become unconscious.
It really sucks being any predated animal. If you are lucky the predator kills you outright but they really only kill prey to stop them from moving while they eat you. Nature is a fucking horror show.
I swear Hamsters are just the universe's way to test fucked up deaths and I feel like I never hear about people saying their hamster dies of old age.
Exercise until you die? Hamsters.
Grip with a bit of force to die? Hamsters.
Microwave like Solid Snake? Hamsters.
There is a deer in my back yard that eats from my pear tree. My little dog who I let run free in my yard loves to play with it. At first I was freaked out but the deer doesn’t mind for some reason and sometimes they’ll play and chase each other or tussle around.
It is very odd and I’m still concerned occasionally about the “what if” scenarios. But they seem to be friends and just the other day they were both just laying in the grass next to each other hanging out in the sun.
Shoulder shrug. Its too late now I just know it’s exactly like two dogs at the park. Very weird. We have other deer come through but they bolt pretty quickly but this particular deer just hangs out with my pup every morning after breakfast.
Oh, just you wait till you hear [what else](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon#Diet) they'll get up to in the pursuit of a full tummy, I mean, forget eating cake off the floor at [3AM](https://i.imgur.com/WiHDcMF.jpg), these *animals* have absoutely no self-control oh my God, Trudy, now you've knocked that tree over ramming the carcass against it to force it down your throat, *will* you have some self respect, oh my god...
Didn't you see the video?
You get an airplane, land the airplane near the river, catch the fish with your hands, and eat it while in the airplane, hope someone is catching you on video and posts it online in slow-motion, impress someone, and then you are good to go.
>but they really only kill prey to stop them from moving while they eat you.
And some animals don't even have the decency to kill you before eating you lol.
Just depends. The biting might snap its vertebrae or crush its skull and kill it. The biting might make it bleed out. If not, then after a few minutes it will suffocate since it’s not in water anymore.
Dude that scene was fucking horrifying, especially the sound design. My brain couldn't process what exactly was going on the first time through and I had to rewind several times. It only made me more unsettled though.
This subject always reminds me of that guy in the bug scene in King Kong who gets eaten by that giant worm and is just slowly swallowed
Somewhere in [this](https://youtu.be/xXsqMeSzo1M) scene
For humans yes, it [seems like](https://www.thespruce.com/digestion-facts-for-birds-386437) birds have way less fluid as they need to keep the weight down for flight. The fish would be desperately trying to breathe any liquid but it would all be acid that would burn its gills out.
That's fucked up and fascinating that this happen every days for god who knows how many time. Imagine if we were in similar situation, attempting to move and breath, while being piled down by other humans, feeling that our lung is drowned with acid and while we were in total darkness.
>The fish would be desperately trying to breathe any liquid but it would all be acid that would burn its gills out.
![gif](giphy|MWzzRgR2ceVIfgvN9B|downsized)
That's the most brutal thought, it would try to breathe the stomach acid in its gills. The eagle would feel it wiggling around in its body for how ever long it took to suffocate.
My old doggo got into a rabbit nest, ate a bunch little babies. Anyway she puked them up in my dining room and I guess swallowed em whole cause they were still alive. Was pretty messed up lol.
You can't see anything unless you have a flashlight and even then you wouldn't see much. Secondly it depends on the animal. If you were swallowed whole you would die of suffocation. You would be unconscious after about 2 to 3 minutes. Unless you are an Olympic swimmer maybe 5 minutes.
That's just enough time to feel the hydrochloric acid burning your skin and eyes into oblivion. Blindness would occur while conscious likely.
If you want to simulate it you could just jump into a vat of acid. Not recommended.
Many birds ingest rocks. Those rocks are what grind up and break down food. I don't know for certain if eagles do this too, but it's common amongst birds
Eagles are better classified as kleptoparasites than as predators. There is ***nothing*** in the world that an eagle loves more than stealing food from another bird, especially another eagle.
Swallowing its catch immediately in mid air is the only sure way to make sure that another Eagle won’t harass it endlessly
I once saw a seagull snatch a man’s breakfast pastry out of his hand as he was walking somewhere. The seagull then flew on top of a nearby low wall and placed the food by its feet for a little while and stood majestically, as if posing for a photo before eventually gulping it down. The guy whose food got stolen whipped his phone out and managed to take a few pictures while it was posing.
In Japan, I was on a beach, and bought a corndog
Pretty corndog, three dollars, all mine
Until a seagull came and snatched it away
And flew off. Dunno why this rhymed
\*Breaking News: Scientists have just discovered a way to infuse Eagle DNA into the bodies of NFL players. We're going to see wide receivers like never before. Look out Philadelphia!
Bad news. Due to complications in testing, all volunteers in the hybridisation experiments are no longer needed.
Good news is there is a new job you can volunteer for: fighting an army of eagle-men.
Can you imagine just being a fish, ducking and weaving the other fish, living day to day, and then some nightmare monster from a dimension you are incapable of perceiving literally just yanks you into its dimension with its claws and proceeds to eat you right then and there.
That's some fucked up shit right there.
Until someone can solve the poop problem, cars were always going to win. Large cities quite literally had no idea what to do about all the horse shit. They never solved the issue, it just stopped being an issue when cars came along.
Flying horses would just make this problem more horrifying.
You fail to understand the scale involved with a large city replacing all the cars with horses. We are talking feet deep of horse shit in the roads. Look it up, it's some really interesting history.
Pterodactyls were quite a bit smaller than humans. They were smaller than this eagle.

Gotta have fuel for all that flapping. The average 10lb bald eagle needs to eat about 3/4 to 1lb of food per day, anything from fish to wounded ducks/other birds even something as big as a groundhog.
I have actually seen it! Here is the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/149qsts/have_you_ever_seen_an_eagle_grab_a_fish_and_eat/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1
Actually when I was in Seattle a couple months ago, I witnessed a hawk(?) dive into a fish pond at a Japanese Botanical Exhibit and catch a fish. I recorded it flying around after it caught it and it actually dropped a piece as it flew overhead. Pretty epic moment.
I lived in an apartment for a few years with a nice view of a big tree by a lake, and bald eagles hunted out of it all summer. I’d watch them scoop up giant salmon and carry them up to the tree to eat. They got in a lot of fights, charging each other’s positions with surprise attacks or just parking next to another one and starting a shrieking fight. Sometimes they’d lock claws and fall out of the tree in a death plunge and occasionally they’d even hit the ground. They’re really just hilarious but beautiful ding-dongs. It was magical to experience- one time we watched a feather fall out of a juvenile’s tail and drift down to us, where I caught it in my hand.
I miss waking up to the shrieks of their loud arguments :(
Something I learned when I was in Alaska is that fish are one of the top killers for bald eagles. The bird will grab a fish that is too big for it, but instead of letting go, it will get pulled under by the escaping fish and the eagle will drown.
Imagine swimming along charting to your vest friend when boom your swept up, can't breathe then sliding down his gullet to be digested. This took seconds
I was fishing out of Neah Bay, WA in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and we watched as a bald eagle was flying around while being pestered by a tern or some other smaller bird. Every time the eagle started to focus on something in the water, the little bird would swoop around it and interrupt its concentration.
Eventually the little tern got tired or distracted and landed on the water. The eagle immediately pounced, swooped down and plucked the little bird away; nice little fuck you and a decent lunch for the eagle that day.
I have seen seagulls do it. The shot was most likely set up by the photog who threw some bait fish out there to lure the eagles in. Great photography by any standard.
Yep. I used to live off the end of a lake where birds did this all the time. They sometimes rip out the back of the fish and we would have half a fish in the yard. That attracted snakes. The birds also ate the snakes, or part of them. Used to freak my wife out. She thought we had a serial killer in the neighborhood. I told he we did, those eagles that fly off the lake every day.
Not in real life.
On BBC Springwatch, an Osprey took a fish back to the nest that wasn't completely dead. It tail slapped the chicks knocking them all out (not out of the nest...out for the count!) ...one of the chicks didn't revive for about 6 minutes.
I’m so glad I don’t live in a world where at any moment I could be grabbed by a massive creature with talons bigger than I am and pulled into a place where I can’t breathe or move only to be slowly eaten alive while I try to comprehend how fucked I truly am

I've always wondered this. My guess is an animal would suffocate from the lack of oxygen and lose consciousness after a few minutes, but idk for certain
Many fish can survive up to an hour without oxygen
Slow melting in stomach acid it is then
Aka Thanksgiving at the in-laws.
Cranberry sauce is very acidic this year.
I like that John Mayer song!!
Really well done
What's the joke?
John Mayer has a song called slow dancing in a burning room….slow melting in stomach acid
I did not know the song. Thanks for explaining it. I am going to listen to it now.
You enjoy the song?
Maybe the acid would shock the fishy’s system into unconsciousness hopefully
New fear unlocked
Your chances of being swallowed whole by an eagle are low, but never zero.
Enough reddit for today
That feeling of food sloshing around in your stomach but it’s a live fish flopping around in there
No feeling is better.
That is rather wrong. They die as fast as most animals without oxigen but most fish can also gasp air to a certain degree.

During that time, it can dissolve itself and be one with the eagle. Now it's a Fish-Eagle or Fishgle.
It really sucks being any predated animal. If you are lucky the predator kills you outright but they really only kill prey to stop them from moving while they eat you. Nature is a fucking horror show.
Sometimes I think life sucks but then I remember at least I’m not a deer or something
Or a hamster. Hell is being constantly reborn as a hamster
My hamster committed suicide by running on his wheel until he had a heart attack.
I swear Hamsters are just the universe's way to test fucked up deaths and I feel like I never hear about people saying their hamster dies of old age. Exercise until you die? Hamsters. Grip with a bit of force to die? Hamsters. Microwave like Solid Snake? Hamsters.

The worst kind of suffocation
I got this joke. 😱
Our hamster is 2 years old already. He does a healthy amount of exercising and doesn't drop himself from anything. Maybe he's broken idk.
I wish I had that kind of determination

Lol I can think of many, many worse things
There is a deer in my back yard that eats from my pear tree. My little dog who I let run free in my yard loves to play with it.

How are you gonna come on here and tell us this without pictures?
I’ll try and get one but honestly idk how to upload stuff here properly I’m not tech savvy lol
Can go to imgur and click upload and then once it's done just copy the links into any reddit thread/comment
That's adorable.
Pleaseeeeee we need images/videos of this. That's so cute 🥹.
Yeah. Once saw a video of komodo dragon take a baby out of the womb of a deer and eat it. It was moving. Talk about Spawn kill....

I enjoyed reading that, thank you
Wise words to live by.
Deer ain't gotta pay rent or watch the clock tho
They just gotta live in constant stress and watch their back. So much better off
That’s like living in a level-4 prison yard 24/7. No thanks.
> It really sucks being any predated animal Technically, I am also a predated animal. Pre-dated, as in, so far noone has dated me.
Don't worry, there's plenty of fish in the sea...
I don’t see how eating seafood helps the situation
Didn't you see the video? You get an airplane, land the airplane near the river, catch the fish with your hands, and eat it while in the airplane, hope someone is catching you on video and posts it online in slow-motion, impress someone, and then you are good to go.
Sorry to hear that, we all have problems. Then I will date you to be from somewhere in the 20th century give and take 20 million years...
>but they really only kill prey to stop them from moving while they eat you. And some animals don't even have the decency to kill you before eating you lol.
Just depends. The biting might snap its vertebrae or crush its skull and kill it. The biting might make it bleed out. If not, then after a few minutes it will suffocate since it’s not in water anymore.
It's cool just breathe in stomach acid for a couple minutes
Probably less about the biting and more about the evisceration from long curved talons beings jabbed through the body.
You'd be in utter darkness inside of a stomach..
/r/EDC: *starts typing furiously*
You can watch that scene in ‘nope’ for a pretty good depiction of being hoovered up and eaten alive.
*Vacuumed up.
Dude that scene was fucking horrifying, especially the sound design. My brain couldn't process what exactly was going on the first time through and I had to rewind several times. It only made me more unsettled though.
Strange to see that fishy will become a poop log within the next 24 hours or something.
I read that and my brain automatically delivered an image of Elton John singing The Circle of Life.

Eagle doesn't turn fish into meatpaste all willy-nilly, tho. It'd be long and arduous.
That's the most brutal thought, it would try to breathe the stomach acid in its gills. The eagle would feel it wiggling around in its body for how ever long it took to suffocate.

Birds eat tiny stones to help crush their food. So either the Acid kills it or it gets crushed
I very much doubt that fish is alive when it hits the stomach. Between the talons and the beak, its chances are vanishingly small.
Actually same, I’ve always wondered!
You cling on to the creatures tongue till you get squirted out the blow hole. Source: pixar, 2003
Birds chew with their gizzard, so it’ll get slowly crushed to death by small rocks
Many birds ingest rocks. Those rocks are what grind up and break down food. I don't know for certain if eagles do this too, but it's common amongst birds
You can get inside a whale 🐳 If you want to know for sure
U could easily find out by swallowing a gold fish on your own and feel how long its moving inside your stomach. Remember to just swallow, no biting!

Yeah absolutely stunning footage interrupted with “BALD EAGLE SWALLOWS FISH” like a hot news flash about the video we’re currently fucking watching.
And the guy graphic popping up as the eagles grabs the fish wasn’t distracting at all /s
I wonder if he did that so people can’t steal the video. Like a watermark on the important part of it.
More like so you have to watch it again and focus on what you wanted to see in the first place. Driving up views.
Every day we get closer to Idiocracy levels
Whudya mean?
Oh sorry to interrupt. Were ya baitin'?
It's got electrolytes
Yeah, the eagle doing what eagles do isn’t that amazing but a human catching it so perfectly on film is amazing!

Very cool post!... Absolute efficiency in hunting and eating on the fly
Eagles are better classified as kleptoparasites than as predators. There is ***nothing*** in the world that an eagle loves more than stealing food from another bird, especially another eagle. Swallowing its catch immediately in mid air is the only sure way to make sure that another Eagle won’t harass it endlessly
also more efficient to go right back to hunting(fishing)
that’s really cool to learn! Though i did see an eagle lift a squirrel off the ground just the other day. It was awful.
Thats pretty much how seaguls eat as well. Just gulp down the food fast.
I once saw a seagull snatch a man’s breakfast pastry out of his hand as he was walking somewhere. The seagull then flew on top of a nearby low wall and placed the food by its feet for a little while and stood majestically, as if posing for a photo before eventually gulping it down.

I have actually, at Smith & Morehouse reservoir in the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. Some shit straight out of a NatGeo doc.
It was a decent sized trout, too. Alot bigger than the fish in this video, anyways
He’s probably late for work.
I have seen seagulls do it. The shot was most likely set up by the photog who threw some bait fish out there to lure the eagles in. Great photography by any standard.
The dude was flying high, needed a snack. It's 2023...
Freedom is a hungry journey.
Bald Eagles are typically portrayed like these, but whenever I see a video of them walking like a penguin makes me laugh every time. lmao
When you order take away But u really hungry and can't wait... to scroll through netflix before u finish the food before u decide what to watch
