I think it was just a fish, or something of similar size, as it blends in with them after it lands. I'm wondering if the "object" was thrown by hand, or launched in some manner, as it does hit with some energy. Perhaps some sort of slingshot/catapult. I'm thinking they have run into this problem before, since it didn't take very long to encourage the big fish eater to abandon ship.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-50644419133657914782016-11-16T21:35:55.674-06:002016-11-16T21:35:55.674-06:00Is it my imagination, or did somebody put a round ...Is it my imagination, or did somebody put a round into the seal about 5 seconds before it jumps overboard?
