You see videos of reptiles eat huge cockroaches, birds swallow fish in one gulp, whales take down schools of living fish… How do these live creatures not cause discomfort to those that eat them? A frog eating a big horned beetle in a gulp, you can see the insect still moving and writhing as it’s consumed; a pelican downing a fish the length of it’s neck, a whale gulping down a small school of fish. Do these animals just cruise around in their captors’ stomachs until they’re digested enough to die? I saw that video the other day of the komodo dragon eating the whole goat where you can hear it still bleating from it’s fleshy cage. Doesn’t all this movement physically bother the consumer?

Ever watch the movie “*Nope*”?
If so, just imagine the live show scene, but with animals.
