The Biguá if feeds of small fish and crustaceans that it captures in low of the water. In contrast to other aquatic birds, the Biguá obtains to eliminate the air that is between its penalty, what it facilitates the diving leaves but them completely made marshy. The immense majority of the species that it captures for its feeding does not have commercial value and its gastric juice is capable to disaggregate spines. |
