Toss Up (Yellow-crowned Night Heron)
A Yellow-crowned Night Heron repositions a blue crab to further pulverize it prior to sending it down the gullet. Depending on the size of the crab, it can either go down in one piece or be turned almost to mush, but either way, the bird has to deal with the hard carapace, which comes out in undigested pellet form.
