#kill #spinylizard Consuming victims while still alive.....!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦉🦎🦎 The raptors then often consume victims while they are still alive, so long as they do not protest too vigorously — the prey eventually succumbs to massive blood loss or organ failure, incurred during dismemberment. In contrast, falcons have only modest talons on each toe, and rely more strongly on the high velocity of their strikes to disable their prey, having evolved a 'tooth' on their beaks to then aid in severing the spinal cords or crushing the heads of their prey. The osprey has enlarged, highly curved talons on each toe. These are adaptations for catching fish, also seen to a lesser extent in fishing raptors such as the bald eagle. Owls have enlarged talons on each short, robust toe, and each claw is less curved than seen in other birds of prey, part of a suite of adaptations to maximize grip strength. This enables them to squeeze victims to death — they specialize on small prey they usually swallow whole. #raptor #rajasthan_tourism #earthcapture ##birdofparadise #bestshotdaily #birds_private #beautifulbirds #bird_watchers_daily #birdphotographersofindia #raptorslovers #raptoraddiction #natgeoyourshot #naturesultans #natureinfocus #capturedincanon #birdsextreme #sanctuaryasia #wildlifeofindia #clawsandwings @natgeoindia @naturein_focus @sanctuaryasia @birdphotographers_of_india @claws.n.wings @wildlifeindia @natgeotravellerindia @bestbirdshots #raptors #raptorsofinstagram #laggerfalcon (at VIPs_Clicks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TkVzOgQh4/?igshid=1k1eait2ej7qb
