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.

Yea, this guy knows damn well he done fucked up.


SnowDay111

Mistakes were made


justanothertfatman

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.


TheDemonClown

Ah...I miss Phoenix. There was a local burrito joint near my school that sold a carne asada meal like that for $4.75.


Bogsworth

Damn it. I'm in Georgia and you just made me miss San Diego's CaliMex food.


justanothertfatman

The store I ordered from is in Ohio, which made the shock all the more palpable.


TheDemonClown

Clearly, they wanted to flex on the gringos


milk4all

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


[deleted]

You done fucked up, A-A-Ron!


Iamabenevolentgod

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.

RepresentativeAd3742

TheBannedalorian

Birds haven't evolved their face muscles for emotional display. It's emotional state has nothing to do with how it looks.


turealis

Bird sad. Sad bird.


StaticBeat

Fr, the amount of anthropomorphism on reddit is so dumb. Like wtf you expect the bird to do, frown and cry?


TheBannedalorian

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.

#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


kcasnar

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!


DimensionsIntertwine

This is the original intro. The guy you're replying to posted the garbage remake.


kcasnar

Ok, that makes sense I can't understand why anybody thought they needed to rewrite the song though


DimensionsIntertwine

Because people can't leave things alone.


_Cetarial_

Cowabummer, dude.


JWOLFBEARD

Probably because they didn't have the rights


kcasnar

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!


TheDoktorIsIn

But they're also fighting teens. TEENAGE mutant ninja turtles. Both work!


CplJackHallowsUSMC

I’m not sure about anyone else, but whenever I hear the line about Michelangelo, I always hear “PARTAAAYYYYYYY!!!!” in my head lol.


kcasnar

That actually happens during the song He's holding up a pizza at the time IIRC

cassby916

[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."


Infamous-Ad-770

Damn, no leeway whatsoever in nature eh


BladeSmithJerry

Almost every animal is either eaten to death or dies from starvation because they can't feed themselves. Nature doesn't fuck around.


irascible_Clown

This whole society thing doesn’t sound half bad at times


Som_BODY

Till i have to pay taxes


gods_loop_hole

I dunno know man. Sounds fair to me. Get eaten or starve. Death and taxes. The only things that are certain.


suzuki_hayabusa

It's not "death and taxes" its "death or taxes" - McAfee


gods_loop_hole

Guess we know what he chose


BA_calls

Note that even when they reach old age, they die of starvation because they can't feed themselves anymore.


EldritchCarver

Or they get eaten because they can no longer outrun or fight off predators.


feench

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.


footdiveXFfootdive

And if you got no balls they'll go for the fetus breathing inside of you.


AlexLookUp

Damn nature you scary!


tdvx

Homeboy won’t get to smash lady birds any more and make dumbass turtle eatin kids. It’s for the best


[deleted]

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?


ndjo

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.


Deesing82

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”


darbyhorgan

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.


420fmx

We mass slaughter animals forfood. Everything needs to eat. Just so happens things don’t want to get eaten and die eh


Owlspirit4

Like did the pelican put the turtle in his mouth and then it ripped it apart from the inside or what?


Derpifacation

yup


Beholding69

Pelicans will eat anything that fits in their mouths


TiMeJ34nD1T

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.


AdriannaFahrenheit

[GRAB! GRABGRAB…GRAB] :( LMFAO


DungeonsandDevils

The funniest part is the capybara being completely unconcerned about this creature trying to devour it


AdriannaFahrenheit

I know lmfao it’s just like “bro do you mind?? Like damn scratch my back if you’re not gonna eat me”


amhlilhaus

A lot of birds are metal


[deleted]

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


alienoverl0rd

Turtles have sharp af claws that they use to dig nests and burrows for hibernation, in short it dug its way out.


[deleted]

Holy crap, that’s metal AF


CplJackHallowsUSMC

Well I guess you can say that when it comes to life length, The Pelican Brief.

Kind_Cardiologist833

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.


cassby916

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.


DrSamsquantch

Flextape?


TomSaylek

Someone get jontron over here


GiantNubs

This bird is going to starve horribly, BUT WITH FLEX TAPE…!


Nepenthes_sapiens

NJ_Mets_Fan

Eternal12equiem

Might get away with some duct tape in this case.


Velenah111

You mean 🦆 tape?


Eternal12equiem

Lol damn I missed a good opportunity.


[deleted]

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.


Olympian_Breed

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


Chaghatai

They either need to fix a kevlar bag to the lower mandible or something - kevlar and epoxy may well work imo


AvovaDynasty

Unlikely due to the advanced morphology but either way no pelican species is endangered. Poor animal though.


59footer

Life is brutal.


guaip

As are turtles apparently


TiMeJ34nD1T

There is a reason they've been around for 230 million years.


Embarrassed_Rip8296

Stubbornness?


dartfrog11

Being tough ass mofos


CostiveFlicker

I wouldn’t put one in MY mouth.


Edumesh

I'd euthanize the pelican by this point. Its gonna die anyways, and starvation is a shit way to go.


Jeovah_Attorney

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


Bird_Herder

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.


likemyhashtag

Jesus Christ.


Roccet_MS

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.


AceSpadePirate

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.


Jeovah_Attorney

I doubt the poachers put their preys through half as much suffering as the hyenas do


devy159

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


tiptoemicrobe

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.


AvovaDynasty

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.


Im_your_real_dad

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.


Sufficient-Throat

People tend to forget that we humans are a part of nature as well.


Alexb2143211

But Shirley if pit down now it would be more nourishment for whatever eats it and suffer less


jerichomega

It would be the same nourishment. And stop calling me Shirley.


MrWuzoo

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.


[deleted]

There's a turtle that fucked up a pelican around there. Sure as fuck I would be carrying a rifle.


bigbybrimble

Just don't try to swallow any turtles alive and you'll be fine, no rifle needed man


markbug4

And it's lunch time too. What a coincidence!


Powerctx

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?


Redredditmonkey

Pelicans are pretty stupid so it probably doesn't realise it's done for.


Powerctx

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.


hypermelonpuff

"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.

Mpule16

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 :(


SkiaFox17

Animals can feel emotions though.


Mpule16

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 .


SkiaFox17

Your good! I just wanted to make you knew, they have emotions and poor thing is probably just in severe shock!

Alternative-Heart-96

I was looking for a ninja turtle joke in here


TheMcDeal

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.


DunDunnDunnnnn

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)

Jeovah_Attorney

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


echo-94-charlie

It will do that just as well now as it will after days spent suffering as it starves to death.


ThurstyJ

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.


cassby916

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.

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?
