When a seagull splashes its feet into the water, it’s often engaging in a hunting technique called “foot paddling.” By rapidly moving its feet in shallow water, the seagull stirs up small marine creatures like fish and crustaceans hiding beneath the surface. This clever behavior creates vibrations that mimic the presence of prey, tricking hidden creatures into movement, making it easier for the seagull to catch them. It’s a simple but effective method for finding food near the shore. Credit unkn
