Some of the frogs wriggled around in an attempt to escape the hornbill's mouth. SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK, TANZANIA: SEE THE moment a greedy hornbill stuffed almost a DOZEN live FROGS into its mouth. In one image, the ravenous eight-pound hornbill held a pile of around a dozen six-inch-long frogs in the tip of its beak. In another, several of the frogs appeared to be alive ? some reaching out for freedom whilst others sat there defeatedly accepting their unfortunate fate. Photographer Manfred Foeger (55) from Axams, Austria, captured the incredible images whilst on a visit to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Manfred stood just 65-foot away as the greedy hornbill spent several minutes gathering its froggy snacks. Despite this particular hornbill?s beak hoard, hornbills can?t actually swallow food caught in the tip of their beaks as their tongues are too short. They have to jerk their heads backwards ? tossing the food up and catching it in their throats. Manfred captured the images using a Canon EOS 1D X camera and a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens. mediadrumworld.com / Manfred Foeger
