Viral video: Seagull swallows squirrel whole in single go, internet is stunned

Imagine strolling down a quiet street, minding your own business, when suddenly, you spot a scene straight out of a nature documentary. A massive seagull, usually associated with serene coastal scenes, is not peacefully gliding through the air or hunting for fish near the shore. No, it's standing boldly in the middle of the road, with a black squirrel dangling from its beak. The poor creature's legs and fluffy tail are helplessly sticking out as the seagull attempts to gulp it down whole.
