Boozy Berry Birds
The winner of the “relationships in nature” category, this photo shows a Bohemian waxwing gorging itself on fermented rowan berries. The bird and other species of waxwings have a fierce appetite for the fruit and can eat hundreds of them in a single day. In order to tolerate the high amounts of alcohol contained in the berries, they’ve also developed larger livers over time, though they’ve still been known to become intoxicated as a result, even to the point of death.
