Flying egret with snake eel bursting through it's stomach; Strange picture!
The image of a flying egret with a snake eel bursting through its stomach is now going viral on social media. These weird pictures were taken from a wildlife sanctuary in Maryland, USA. These rare images were taken by 58-year-old wildlife photographer Sam Davis.
Sam Davis, who came to take pictures of foxes and hawks, accidentally noticed a egret with a snake around it's neck. Sam immediately took the pictures with his camera.
Sam thought it was a snake that had grabbed egret by the neck. When he went home and examined the pictures in detail, he came to know that it was a fish belonging to the snake eel category. This literally shocked him. Sam took pictures with his camera of the egret flying with the snake eel fish that bursting through it's stomach.
The tip of the tail of the snake eel fish is as sharp as a knife. They live in muddy areas along the river, digging sand with this sharp tail. The eels will try to escape by tearing the enemy's body with their sharp tails, so if the snake eels are fed alive, the result will be death for those creatures. This is exactly what happened here. The eel, which was swallowed alive, by the egret dug into its stomach and jumped out.

It is not clear how long the beak will live, with a serious stomach injury.
However, experts have described the picture as "one of the rarest picture."
