Clam eater (including shell)

I watched in amazement yesterday as this female Surf Scooter came up from a dive with a good-sized clam. (click on each picture for full meal deal)

I had read that Scooters ate clams but to actually observe a Scooter swallowing one whole was amazing. (I don’t think they make a strong enough antacid or laxative for humans to have these kind of eating habits :~)

Preparation .....

Choke Hold...

Down the Hatch!
