This bird sometimes called the 'Snakebird', is known for its exceptional diving skills, enabled by its unique wing structure. This footage showcases how the bird's wings, which lack the usual waterproofing oil, allow it to move more easily underwater, making it an efficient hunter. After diving, the Snakebird is often seen spreading its wings to dry, a behavior beautifully captured in this video. The dual functionality of its wings, adept for both swimming and flying, is a testament to the evolutionary adaptability of this species, making this footage valuable for educational purposes, nature documentaries, and ecological studies.
