Ospreys have a very unique hunting structure, it’s really cool. Every other fishing raptor will skim the surface, snagging a fish off the top. An osprey folds it’s wings and dives into the water. They grip their fish with huge, zygodactyl feet like an owl.

They’re the only non-owl raptor with these feet.

Sometimes they snag a fish too big and they can’t release their grip. These birds are unfortunately dragged under to a watery grave.

he fish too big for he god damn feet
