Watch: Snake turns into a balloon after stealing huge egg - UPI.com (UPI.com)

A snake steals an egg from a pair of protective birds only to realize it may have bitten off more than it could chew.

"Then, with an egg in its mouth, the snake began slithering away in one of the most comical and bizarre manners I have ever seen. We didn't get to see the snake swallow the egg in its entirety, but let's just say I have seen more pangolins than common egg eaters eat eggs. "The egg eater soon reached the nest, and we held our breath as it began biting at one of the lapwings' eggs. It was clear that the lapwings were in for a tough fight. However, the egg eater was persistent and agile, dodging their attacks and slithering toward the nest. A common egg eater, these snakes are famous for their ability to swallow eggs whole as this forms a major part of their diet.

Snake Bytes 2/21: Is It April Yet? (AZ Snake Pit)

Rodriguez's deal came late in his rookie season, after he had already established himself as the frontrunner for the American League Rookie of the Year award.

Rodriguez was part of the Tecolotes’ return to Nuevo Laredo in the 70s as well as their eventually foray into playing for the first time in the U.S. His upper-80s changeup generated a 61 percent swing-and-miss rate in 2022 due to its fade and tumble, while the mid-80s slider debuted and showed more consistency than his curveball. The union first gained the right to salary arbitration under Marvin Miller in 1973. Arbitration was a key issue in several work stoppages, and the union wants no part of any formula that will operate as a cap and eliminate negotiating rights. “While we often disagree with individual hearing results, salary arbitration is a right that generations of players have fought for and defended despite MLB’s repeated attempts to eliminate it,” a union spokesperson said. The union disputes that the league’s proposal would have paid more money to arbitration-eligible players. Bichette called arbitration, “an incredibly flawed process, one that isn’t very good for the game,” adding, “there’s no reason to pit owners and executives against players, just no reason.” Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley, after losing his case, indicated an openness to the kind of formula the league proposed, saying, “Maybe come up with some kind of algorithm for first-, second, third-year (arbitration-eligible) guys so you can avoid that confrontation … [Baseball](https://www.mlb.com/) News: [[MLB] Was it nothing? “I’m not going to get into the economics. “I’m not going to give you that number, but it’s bigger than a breadbox,” Cohen said.

Do Snakes Eat Birds? (Discover Magazine)

Adult birds, baby birds and bird eggs: Snakes have evolved to eat all sorts of birds.

“For weavers, snakes are certainly the primary determinant of whether those birds successfully breed or not.” “It’s this really, really cool system,” says Maritz, a system that has also been studied in the Indian egg-eating snake (Elachistodon westermanni), which is ecologically similar. For instance, the spider-tailed viper uses its spider-like tail to lure in birds, Then, they swallow it into their throat without cracking it, because they have basically toothless jaws, and they press it with their throat against several protuberances off the back of their They might actively raid nests both on the ground and in trees, for example. Not only are they smaller and easier to swallow whole, they’re also less likely to fight back, especially the eggs. Whilst there are species that predominantly eat birds, no snake only eats a diet of birds, according to Maritz, as it's rare to have genuine specialization on a single prey. In fact, the consumption of adult birds is relatively rare. What’s more, snacking on some bird-nugget is something both tree-climbing snakes and ground-dwelling ones seem to fancy. For example, one rule of thumb is that there are no vegetarian snakes, since no species of snake eat any plant material at all, and every snake on the planet is a predator of other animals. “Bear in mind that snakes are swallowing their prey whole,” says Maritz. Others prefer mammals, like mice, all the way up to antelope — think about giant snakes like pythons and anacondas and how they can eat huge things, including people.
