Getting the food in your mouth is only half the battle, as this pelican proves after trying to swallow a duck whole.
The footage was captured at a New Orleans Zoo and shows a pelican that clearly had eyes way bigger than its stomach — or neck, in this case. It’s trying its best to get it down while terrified screams are going on and the duck is trying everything it can to escape from its weird stretchy mouth prison.
It turns out the duck did finally manage to escape and go on about its life for another day.
