I once saw a pigeon swallow a giant fish that was being fed to a seal, and after eating it it literally couldn’t fly anymore

Seals can’t fly to begin with.

Nature’s equivalent to plopping down on the couch and unbuttoning the top button of your pants.

Elusive*, you’ll probably try to correct me and say that you meant “illusive” but that’s not the right use-case for it anyway.

It’s not pedantry to point out your word choice was so completely wrong. Illusive is descriptive of things that are illusions (a mirage is illusive water); elusive is descriptive of something that is hard to find

I once watched a shag swallow a huge eel. The eel didn’t want to be swallowed. It took about 15 minutes.
