About this work
European bee-eater eating an Emperor dragonfly in Pfyn-Finges, Switzerland. After catching their prey, birds typically throw them in the air before swallowing it. This process makes it easier for the birds to swallow because it lets the food be repositioned in the easiest way for them to eat it.
