Fatal attack on common gallinule


Nicolás tells us that "..Today I witnessed a scene, that I had no recall of. A juvenil Common Gallinule is dragged below water with a great fuss. An instant later it emerges dead and beheaded...
Then the attacker, a Side-necked Turtle pops up along with the prey, it submerges again and goes on devouring the gallinule. This scene is repeated several times and finally the turtle seems satisfied and leaves abandoning the rest of the body. "
