It’s a pelican-eat-dog world

These improbable pictures were taken at an exotic bird farm in Germany and show the extraordinary moment when a one-year-old pelican body-searched a dog in search for a missing meal.

Captured by the owner of the bird farm, Roland Adam, they show how Petri the Pelican took exception to the theft of its meal.

“I was preparing foods for the birds in our outdoor kitchen, when I noticed Petri at my side looking for a snack,” explained the 38-year-old. “I decided to feed her one of the chicks I had been preparing when Katijina raced in, caught the frozen bird mid-air and gobbled up Petri’s dinner.”
