Abstract

A population of African tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus from the Schroda Dam, actively prey on barn swallows Hirundo rustica in flight. This behaviour was discovered during a radio telemetry study and documented using a motion picture video camera. These results show that an avivorous diet is a part of the feeding biology of H. vittatus, and may occur in other populations.

Where's the video? That sounds like quite the sight to see.

WOW!

This is absolutely amazing. Once again these wonderfully active and dynamic predators manage to amaze us. I really wish there was more work being done with the other four species aside from VATF. I'd love to see what unique things they could tell us.

Guys, the credit goes to Dr. Ng: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=37570

I wish to find the video as well. Anyone searched YouTube/Google? I have not had the time yet. Is it deposited with the Supporting Information with the article? Most articles have that. I have no membership on Wiley to see it.
