The snail kite uses hooked beaks to extract snails from shells
The snail kite, a hawk-like bird, relies solely on freshwater snails, particularly the Florida apple snail. Their beaks have adapted to become curved and pointed and act as a hook that allows them to pull snails out of their shells. These birds are also equipped with red eyes that assist them in locating snails from above, often from around 20 feet away. 🐦 🐌
