Yes, this seagull has a whole starfish in its beak ! Though sea stars have a spiny exterior, they are not safe from predators. Anemones, crabs, otters, fish, and seagulls have all adapted to prey on them. Seagulls, for example, wait for the tide to go out before grabbing a sea star. Using their strong throat and digestive muscles, they break down the sea star into a nutritious meal. While it takes time, the energy gained makes it worthwhile. | Club Ocean
