чернобрюхая змеешейка/Fabulously artful bird of symmetry: Oriental Darter, Anhinga melanogaster or rufa

Just how does its neck not snap off? And how does it not choke on larger fish that it swallows? A waterbird with a very long, slender, snakelike neck, and a long, pointed bill. Breeding adults have a shiny black body with silvery-white streaks along the wings, a brownish crown and neck, and a white stripe running from the eye to the side of the neck. Nonbreeding and immature plumage is duller and browner. Frequently seen swimming with only its neck and head visible above the water. Impales fish underwater with its daggerlike bill. Like cormorants, often perches upright on a rock, drying itself with outstretched wings. Seen singly or in small groups in inland or coastal water bodies. Usually silent. - ebird This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
