Anhinga trapped by plastic This Anhinga (also called "Darter", "Snakebird" or "Water turkey") is trapped by plastic human waste. A very real and direct showcase of the damage our behavior can do to nature. This bird does not allow well-intended humans near him to remove it. Luckily, at one point this bird will be so weak and stop resisting, allowing itself to be freed again.
