Great Blue Heron Struts the Shore with a Fake Shark Prize

While I was filming Fred, a wild great blue heron on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, he unexpectedly picked up a small fake shark in his beak and carried it along the shoreline. For a moment, it looked like Fred had actually caught a shark! Fred is a recurring character in my Gulf Coast Gurlie coastal wildlife videos. - Filmed on: 2025-10-28 - Location: Orange Beach, US
