  as per Wikipedia, that bird eats insects, not fish

    Why is it underwater then?

    I’m willing to bet that if I were a fish and swam next to it, that motherfucker would try to peck out my eyes and eat them

      Not even for sustenance. Just out of principle

    Idk I’d be terrified as a fish too

  Those feather are rather water repellent.

    From the French Wikipedia page, it goes against the current, using its wings, body and tail to force it to the bottom of the river.

  Not to mention their food might be a trap, too, and next thing you know you’re stuck on a line with a barbed hook in your face

    Hey, I think Futurama made a documentary about that.

  The Dipper is one of the only songbirds that actually swims and dives fully underwater.

  To be fair this is basically how sharks work for us

  • WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Not really since we enter their realm and they give us what for. This is more akin to walking to the local shop for a snack and getting scooped up and carried away by a giant eagle

      Speak for yourself! Last time I went for a walk to get a snack at the local shop, I got scooped up by a giant shark and carried back to the water!

    …but only in Sharknado.

  I can so see this bird’s evolution going water-based if given enough time.

  So is this is the fish equivalent of Bigfoot? Or like space aliens?

  source

  • addie@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s a creature that comes from an environment where we cannot survive, and drags us back into its realm to eat us. I was thinking more the kraken, but maybe ‘space cthulhu’-type aliens work too.

    Don’t think Bigfoot is a particularly violent chap? Maybe a Wendigo night be a better match.

    • hansolo@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Someone said this bird eats insects, so it’s not violent for the fish at least.
