You all call it !!! Heads or Tails ???

A Double-crested Cormorant flipping an eel into the air to get a better grasp. The Eel would wrap himself around the Cormorant's beak which made it difficult for the Cormorant to swallow it. What I found interesting was that the Cormorant would sometimes go under water with the eel. Certainly he couldn't drown it. I assume there was less resistance from the eel when they were under water.
