A Pelican Eats A Fighting Pigeon In A Park
This has been around for a while but it's the most interesting thing I've seen today: a pelican in a London park eating a pigeon that just won't give up. I was riveted:
Thanks to the tipster who sent us that. That two minute video was more suspenseful than the Kate Hudson/Matthew McConaughey romantic adventure Fools Gold. Which, as a total public service and apropos of nothing, I beg you not to try to watch.

Elizabeth Toni is the new Rick Salomon. I never knew pelicans were cannibals.

That pelican has to stay on this bus forever.

Does the Pigeon get out? I'm not going to watch unless the pigeon gets out.

Spoiler: The pigeon does not get out.
I had to search for "things eating pelicans" to make myself feel better after watching that.

Just go to about 1:10 to see Shamu eat a pelican.
After that, there's trainers swimming around collecting pelican chunks, as well as Shamu feeding pelican to seagulls to lure them over so he can eat them too. I never knew I hated pelicans until today.
Score = 2
After seeing that video, Pelicans just made my top 10 list of "Scariest Animals Ever." right between Ostriches and Paris Hilton *ZING!*

The evil hungry beast that is the pelican should've just given up. No snack is worth that much attempted swallowing.

Thank you for that, it made me feel better. That video sucked. It should have gotten out as hard as it fought. Fuck pelicans. Yay Shamu!
