a brief set of images to tell an interesting and full completed story! Well shot!

Thank you, Dan, for your feedback. I have been seeing and photographing GBHes in Jordan dam for a few years now (while mostly waiting for more 'interesting' subjects like eagles and osprey fishing) and never saw a full sequence like that before. Right place, right time, a dash of good karma ...

I'm thinking that would be a bird with really bad breath? Great sequence!

Thank you for the feedback.
Birds do not have teeth and gums - so swallow their food whole. Though eagles seem to swallow smaller pieces than GBHs. Does human bad breath come from gums or deeper withing the oesophagus? I guess we will have to ask a GBH 'dentist'

I read about Python's swallowing humans in remote villages. I wonder about the truthfulness of those incidents.

I agree. Unless the human was unconscious and the snake wrapped itself around the person and crushed them, I'd think a human would be a bit faster than the snake.
It's kinda like the stories about Bald Eagles making off with some ones child. Even most new born babies are too heavy for an eagle to lift.

Great GBH action series. I can't believe he ate the whole thing.

Thanks, Hereford, for your feedback. After swallowing the whole fish, the GBH sat still for a long time. I would have had to lay down and take a long nap after such a meal! 😆

Your question: Does human bad breath come from gums or deeper within the oesophagus?

Both: Bad breath can originate from decaying food in the stomach, with the gas (such as hydrogen sulfide) being burped. Or poor orodental hygiene with decaying food caught between the teeth, and from bacteria in the gums and dental cavities releasing decay gases.
