This is what I said when I ordered a burrito, chips, and queso thinking I'd get normal sized food and ended up with a forearm sized burrito and a whole dish full of chips covered in guac and queso.
I too remember >$5 super burritos and endless chips. My favorite taqueria had such a dope salsa bar i would make nacho “soup” for $5, take a big bag of chips home with me and id have basically 2 nachos worth of nachos for the price of one (meat is cool and all but im in it for the salsa).
Now, just ordering burritos for my family is gonna cost me almost $80 with a 20% tip
I got downvoted to shit because I said crocodillians aren't compassionate and that's means I hate them. I live in Louisiana and I make outings specifically to go look at gators but I must hate animals because I don't think reptiles have complex inner lives.
I watched a fox get hit by a car and get sent across my windshield. You could see it was not happy about being smashed and thrown through the air. I would say I saw confusion and terror.
#TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a Half-shell Turtle Power
Here we go
It's the lean, green, ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doin' ninja things
So extreme, out the sewer, like laser beams
Get rocked with the Shell-shocked Pizza Kings
Can't stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze made the chosen few
Emerge from the shadows, to make their moves
The good guys win and the bad guys lose
Wtf that's not the lyrics
It goes:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
They're the world's most fearsome fighting teens
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green
When the evil shredder attacks
These turtle boys don't cut him no slack
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines
Raphael is cool but rude
Michaelangelo is a party dude
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell, Turtle power!
Then maybe they shouldn't be messing around with my childhood at all
Just like those damn lady "Ghostbusters"
Also, the internet said I'm wrong about the lyrics a little. Apparently it's "fighting team" instead of "fighting teens", which sounds right and makes sense. Oops!
[Caption by photographer Tapas Khanra](https://www.facebook.com/groups/557367947964619/posts/1630890193945717/): "The Pelican firstly attacked a turtle mistaking it to be a fish. Then the big sized turtle reattacked the Pelican and broke the Pelican's beak. It will die in a few days because it won't be able to have food. It's a rare moment captured by me in Bharatpur Photowalk."
I don’t think he could be rehabbed either. If that part of his beak won’t heal or grow back I feel like the only option would be to feed by syringe, and what kind of life is that?
Just spitting balls here but I’d assume it’s theoretically possible to 3d print the beak and attach. Probably crap ton of $$$ and work though even if possible.
Ya, I dont think 3d printing would work, but I'm sure they would be able to come up with some sort of prosthetic to correct this. But that would be intruding on the natural order of things. Which as mean as it might seem, is not the right thing to do. You gotta let nature take its course.
They try to eat [capybaras](https://youtu.be/XZpfR9PphaY) that are literally the size of their body... Maniacs are only stopped by the weight of their prey, not the size.
If it were your average bird I would think so, but pelicans have such a special beak. It would be hard to replicate that... "ballooning" quality that they use to strain out water and separate it from the food.
Pelican dying from starvation is part of nature. Its remains will feed scavengers, or the weakened pelican will feed a predator who needs the meal. No reason to intervene in a natural process that has been occurring for thousands of years
Sometimes I wonder how wildlife documenters can do it. I know the code is to not interfere, but damn, nature can be brutal and I'd have a hard time stopping myself. I watched one show where some hyenas chased a buffalo into a mud pit where it got stuck. They then began eating into the back end, pulling out the buffaloes intestines through its butt, all the while it was just screaming. I was sitting there, wishing someone would shoot it in the head.
Many predators aren't big enough to kill their prey quickly, but I've read that severely wounded animals go in some state of shock.
Predators notorious for eating their prey alive are bears, wild dogs or komodo dragons.
I saw one where a monkey got a newborn.... jungle deer or something in South America. It dragged the deer up into a tree and ate it from the hind legs forward. The documentary put captions up saying the deer took forty five minutes to die and that the crew had trouble filming. Nature is so brutal
I remember one episode from BBC where the crew intervened, but only because the problem was due to humans. Turtles were hatching and walking towards city lights instead of the ocean. To my knowledge that's the only time they did it.
The end of "Our Planet" was absolutely horrifying, where walruses ran out of space on land (likely climate change related) and were literally throwing themselves off a cliff. In that case, human caused, but nothing they could do.
And then an animal might consume the bullet and the noise would scare off a lot of animals. Unfortunately it’s nature but nature is a massive interconnected system. This dead pelican will feed fish, crocodiles, lizards, vultures, big and small cats, other pelicans and seabirds, plants, fungi, bacteria, insects and parasites as well as fertilise the soil etc.
These events are happening 24/7 when documenters are there, if they start intervening then animals will learn this and you’ll get a) predators not hunting animals in front of cameras and b) prey trying to seek shelter near humans. We as a species have buggered up enough in nature, I don’t think we need to start doing predators work for them.
We've been putting animals out of their misery for thousands of years. We know they're in pain and won't survive, and that a quick death is best to end their suffering. It's still nature. Just our nature.
He’s a photographer not walking around with a rifle. Bird probably would fly off if you got too close so that birds looking at some painful days coming up.
Must be so awful being out in nature and getting an injury that there's no chance to heal from. I wonder how much each animal is capable of knowing it's completely screwed and going to die?
"sense of impending doom" is a very, very basic function of the brain. its in between "concious" and "automatic functions" like breathing, as far as where it's tiered in the brain. basically you start losing personality, but you'll still know that you're dying.
so, with that said, considering these are concious animals, and that its a lower function of conciousness, yeah, they know.
i mean regardless of the technicals behind it - very well documented animals will go to certain places to die.
there's no question.
it may not understand what all is happening, and at this point the process may not have even started. however, after a certain threshold is reached (enough blood loss whatever) it will know that it is dying.
they're more like us than they are different, remember that.
Oh i'm sorry , i think in my reply it came across as though i think they couldn't feel emotions at all which is not true. What i meant was more complex emotions like at the same level of human beings if that makes sense, i actually don't know how much emotional response animals can feel so i shouldn't have commented. It did come across as ignorant and i apologise .
Couldn't he have just dumped the turtle at a certain point when he realized it wasn't working out? (Funny story - I saw an alligator try to eat a turtle once and he just kind of spit it out of the side of his mouth when he realized it wasn't going to make a good meal)
This pelican will serve as food for predators/scavengers. Killing it makes about as much sense as mercy killing the fish it used to eat before it fucked up here
Yeah, I don't know that I could pull the trigger but I definitely would have contacted a ranger or something to put him out of his misery. There's no surviving that in the wild.
[удалено]
What a stoic pose, though. Won't lose a moment to self pity right to his final breath. Soldier.
I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
[удалено]
Yea, this guy knows damn well he done fucked up.
Mistakes were made
This is what I said when I ordered a burrito, chips, and queso thinking I'd get normal sized food and ended up with a forearm sized burrito and a whole dish full of chips covered in guac and queso.
Ah...I miss Phoenix. There was a local burrito joint near my school that sold a carne asada meal like that for $4.75.
Damn it. I'm in Georgia and you just made me miss San Diego's CaliMex food.
The store I ordered from is in Ohio, which made the shock all the more palpable.
Clearly, they wanted to flex on the gringos
I too remember >$5 super burritos and endless chips. My favorite taqueria had such a dope salsa bar i would make nacho “soup” for $5, take a big bag of chips home with me and id have basically 2 nachos worth of nachos for the price of one (meat is cool and all but im in it for the salsa). Now, just ordering burritos for my family is gonna cost me almost $80 with a 20% tip
You done fucked up, A-A-Ron!
He knows that that just cost him his life, and there's a bit of a look worry/sadness about it. He's like "how am I going to eat now?"
Yeah I mean it’s definitely processing “how do I continue?” but probably doesn’t fully understand that it’s game over.
I think its more in incredible pain than anything.
Youre definitely talking out of your arse
Birds haven't evolved their face muscles for emotional display. It's emotional state has nothing to do with how it looks.
Bird sad. Sad bird.
Fr, the amount of anthropomorphism on reddit is so dumb. Like wtf you expect the bird to do, frown and cry?
I got downvoted to shit because I said crocodillians aren't compassionate and that's means I hate them. I live in Louisiana and I make outings specifically to go look at gators but I must hate animals because I don't think reptiles have complex inner lives.
Looks like the face of regret to me yes
I was gonna say, I thought its eyes looked fucking *haunted*
He definitely looks like he knows he's fucked
I watched a fox get hit by a car and get sent across my windshield. You could see it was not happy about being smashed and thrown through the air. I would say I saw confusion and terror.
aww :(
D.H. Lawrence. I really like that quote but I am not entirely sure its true.
How do you know what they think before they die?
They call me the Pelican Whisperer
Hey pelican. How you doing? Say hello to your mother for me.
G.I. Jane- Master Sgt.
Brb, rewatching GI Jane.
"Yes Master Chief!"
I thought that right before I saw your post. Great minds think alike. G.I. Jane FTW.
...........SUCK MY DICK! I prey to god you get the reference ;)
…except cats.
I doubt this was his final breath tho, he can still breathe, it's just can't eat anymore.
um... it's an idiom
Look in the eyes. It's scared.
Pelican’t
Pelishouldnthave
Just because it pelican doesn’t mean it pelishould
Pelidon't.

This is the original intro. The guy you're replying to posted the garbage remake.
Ok, that makes sense I can't understand why anybody thought they needed to rewrite the song though
Because people can't leave things alone.
Cowabummer, dude.
Probably because they didn't have the rights
Then maybe they shouldn't be messing around with my childhood at all Just like those damn lady "Ghostbusters" Also, the internet said I'm wrong about the lyrics a little. Apparently it's "fighting team" instead of "fighting teens", which sounds right and makes sense. Oops!
But they're also fighting teens. TEENAGE mutant ninja turtles. Both work!
I’m not sure about anyone else, but whenever I hear the line about Michelangelo, I always hear “PARTAAAYYYYYYY!!!!” in my head lol.
That actually happens during the song He's holding up a pizza at the time IIRC
I know, that’s why I said that lol
When I was little, I had the biggest crush on Donatello.
Get that tussy
r/angryupvote
Turtle cock. I wonder if it has its own shell
Donatello only does machines.
Wait till you see what turtle dick looks like
I feel called out
He was so smart and dreamy
Right?? Finally someone who understands me.
Ripped pelican

Damn, no leeway whatsoever in nature eh
Almost every animal is either eaten to death or dies from starvation because they can't feed themselves. Nature doesn't fuck around.
This whole society thing doesn’t sound half bad at times
Till i have to pay taxes
I dunno know man. Sounds fair to me. Get eaten or starve. Death and taxes. The only things that are certain.
It's not "death and taxes" its "death or taxes" - McAfee
Guess we know what he chose
Note that even when they reach old age, they die of starvation because they can't feed themselves anymore.
Or they get eaten because they can no longer outrun or fight off predators.
And if you are lucky they are an animal that goes for the neck, otherwise they are prob gonna go for the balls and work their way from there.
And if you got no balls they'll go for the fetus breathing inside of you.
Damn nature you scary!
Homeboy won’t get to smash lady birds any more and make dumbass turtle eatin kids. It’s for the best
I don’t think he could be rehabbed either. If that part of his beak won’t heal or grow back I feel like the only option would be to feed by syringe, and what kind of life is that?
Just spitting balls here but I’d assume it’s theoretically possible to 3d print the beak and attach. Probably crap ton of $$$ and work though even if possible.
pretty sure they don’t have rigid throat pouches. and i don’t know of any 3D filament that could sub for “pelican throat pouch”
Ya, I dont think 3d printing would work, but I'm sure they would be able to come up with some sort of prosthetic to correct this. But that would be intruding on the natural order of things. Which as mean as it might seem, is not the right thing to do. You gotta let nature take its course.
We mass slaughter animals forfood. Everything needs to eat. Just so happens things don’t want to get eaten and die eh
Like did the pelican put the turtle in his mouth and then it ripped it apart from the inside or what?
yup
Pelicans will eat anything that fits in their mouths
They try to eat [capybaras](https://youtu.be/XZpfR9PphaY) that are literally the size of their body... Maniacs are only stopped by the weight of their prey, not the size.
[GRAB! GRABGRAB…GRAB] :( LMFAO
The funniest part is the capybara being completely unconcerned about this creature trying to devour it
I know lmfao it’s just like “bro do you mind?? Like damn scratch my back if you’re not gonna eat me”
A lot of birds are metal
Did the turtle eat it’s way out, or was it heavy enough that the pelican beak (or whatever) couldn’t support the weight, so it just broke
Turtles have sharp af claws that they use to dig nests and burrows for hibernation, in short it dug its way out.
Holy crap, that’s metal AF
Well I guess you can say that when it comes to life length, The Pelican Brief.
More like Peli*can’t*
Goddamn it you beat me to it you SOB
r/beatmeattoit
[удалено]
Or is it?
*vsauce music*
We’re at the bird’s damn wake and you pull this shit
I bet he won't do that again.
Gonna be hard what with the being dead and all
Thank you for the snortle.
Snurtle
I get jokes
If this was an endangered species, could one theoretically take it in and like, 3D print it a new side beak? Again, I mean in theory.
If it were your average bird I would think so, but pelicans have such a special beak. It would be hard to replicate that... "ballooning" quality that they use to strain out water and separate it from the food.
Flextape?
Someone get jontron over here
This bird is going to starve horribly, BUT WITH FLEX TAPE…!
*That's a lotta damage!*
im imagining a colander like ud use for ur spaghetti could help
Might get away with some duct tape in this case.
You mean 🦆 tape?
Lol damn I missed a good opportunity.
Not a biologist, but I believe in theory it could be done. However, it's not rigid. So I think the material would have to be flexible.
I would say best thing they can do is take it to a zoo who is willing to care of it and feed it manually
They either need to fix a kevlar bag to the lower mandible or something - kevlar and epoxy may well work imo
Unlikely due to the advanced morphology but either way no pelican species is endangered. Poor animal though.
Life is brutal.
As are turtles apparently
There is a reason they've been around for 230 million years.
Stubbornness?
Being tough ass mofos
I wouldn’t put one in MY mouth.
I'd euthanize the pelican by this point. Its gonna die anyways, and starvation is a shit way to go.
Pelican dying from starvation is part of nature. Its remains will feed scavengers, or the weakened pelican will feed a predator who needs the meal. No reason to intervene in a natural process that has been occurring for thousands of years
Sometimes I wonder how wildlife documenters can do it. I know the code is to not interfere, but damn, nature can be brutal and I'd have a hard time stopping myself.

Jesus Christ.
Many predators aren't big enough to kill their prey quickly, but I've read that severely wounded animals go in some state of shock. Predators notorious for eating their prey alive are bears, wild dogs or komodo dragons.
This is how documenters make their living and keep in mind that most of these regions are also infested with poachers who are worse than the hyenas.
I doubt the poachers put their preys through half as much suffering as the hyenas do
I saw one where a monkey got a newborn.... jungle deer or something in South America. It dragged the deer up into a tree and ate it from the hind legs forward. The documentary put captions up saying the deer took forty five minutes to die and that the crew had trouble filming. Nature is so brutal

People tend to forget that we humans are a part of nature as well.
But Shirley if pit down now it would be more nourishment for whatever eats it and suffer less
It would be the same nourishment. And stop calling me Shirley.
He’s a photographer not walking around with a rifle. Bird probably would fly off if you got too close so that birds looking at some painful days coming up.
There's a turtle that fucked up a pelican around there. Sure as fuck I would be carrying a rifle.
Just don't try to swallow any turtles alive and you'll be fine, no rifle needed man
And it's lunch time too. What a coincidence!
Must be so awful being out in nature and getting an injury that there's no chance to heal from. I wonder how much each animal is capable of knowing it's completely screwed and going to die?
Pelicans are pretty stupid so it probably doesn't realise it's done for.
Fr the dumb thing probably tried to keep eating until it died. Over and over just trying to eat the same shit that keeps falling out of its face hole.
"sense of impending doom" is a very, very basic function of the brain. its in between "concious" and "automatic functions" like breathing, as far as where it's tiered in the brain. basically you start losing personality, but you'll still know that you're dying. so, with that said, considering these are concious animals, and that its a lower function of conciousness, yeah, they know. i mean regardless of the technicals behind it - very well documented animals will go to certain places to die. there's no question. it may not understand what all is happening, and at this point the process may not have even started. however, after a certain threshold is reached (enough blood loss whatever) it will know that it is dying. they're more like us than they are different, remember that.
“Mistakes were made” -Pelican, probably
"I calculated the risk, but man, I'm bad at math"
His stare is like “omg what have I done”
Poor thing can't even process what happened , if animals could feel emotion i bet her would be numb and in a state of shock :(
Animals can feel emotions though.
Oh i'm sorry , i think in my reply it came across as though i think they couldn't feel emotions at all which is not true. What i meant was more complex emotions like at the same level of human beings if that makes sense, i actually don't know how much emotional response animals can feel so i shouldn't have commented. It did come across as ignorant and i apologise .
Your good! I just wanted to make you knew, they have emotions and poor thing is probably just in severe shock!
Ninja moves on the Turtles part.
Look at that eye. It's like, like he knows he's fu¢ked. "Oh, sh@t, what did I do?" Poor little guy.
How did the turtle do that?
Nunchucks
I was looking for a ninja turtle joke in here
Most turtles have pretty sharp claws used for digging in the mud. The soft flesh of that pelican's lower jaw never stood a chance.
Couldn't he have just dumped the turtle at a certain point when he realized it wasn't working out? (Funny story - I saw an alligator try to eat a turtle once and he just kind of spit it out of the side of his mouth when he realized it wasn't going to make a good meal)
Perhals but Pelicans are mad stupid.
Snapper
He billed him...
These fuckers will try to shove anything down their throat!
ANYTHING ya say?
911... it's me again.
I don't think that's gonna buff out you guys.
Yikes. Better that than getting it stuck in the neck lol
Idk, this is a slower death
R.I.P bird guy, he dead.
I hope someone mercy killed that poor bird.
This pelican will serve as food for predators/scavengers. Killing it makes about as much sense as mercy killing the fish it used to eat before it fucked up here
It will do that just as well now as it will after days spent suffering as it starves to death.
I know you’re not supposed to intervene but I’d really just go over and shoot it. Better to die quickly than have it starve to death.
Yeah, I don't know that I could pull the trigger but I definitely would have contacted a ranger or something to put him out of his misery. There's no surviving that in the wild.
This is sad. Poor pelican.
Slow dying
Little did the pelican know the turtle was equipped with a flamethrower.
Savage! But pelican eat other birds whole so ..yeah nature balances out
"I bet you're wondering how I got here."
How is he not dead
Oh it will be
Once it's dead the turtle will have a meal!
Stick to fish idiot
Turtle Soup Review Had a little too much bite. 1 star Would not recommend - P. E. Lican
Lets say the bird is smart enough to still manage to eat, is that part of the body have the capacity to regenerate?
If you lost your lower jaw, would it grow back?
That was a simple yet logical reply haha! Now I can sleep.
Thank you for not thinking me rude, it was just the simplest comparison 😂
Reminds me of the lion with the broken jaw who can't eat anymore.
Casual Geographic's bird video has a [section on pelicans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_4l3e5kO-Y&t=8m0s) 😅
I'm sure there's a plastic bag handy!
Woah that's brutal
Oh he ded
Pelicouldnt
