Seagulls have been observed feeding heavily on flying ants in the coastal region, a behavior that has drawn scientific interest.
The ants release a chemical that induces a brief, disorienting effect in the birds, yet the gulls continue to consume large quantities of the insect protein.
Observers note that the gulls appear undeterred by the ants' acid, suggesting a tolerance that may benefit their diet during peak ant activity.
Environmental groups have expressed approval of the natural interaction, emphasizing the importance of allowing ecosystems to function without interference.
Local wildlife authorities encourage residents to report any sick or injured animals directly to the animal protection service for prompt assistance.
