This partnership between man and animal has been going on for thousands of years. To catch enough fish, Chinese fishermen use cormorants as their assistants, who, in fact, catch it by diving into the water for it.

Traditional Chinese fishing with cormorantsCormorant fishing is one of the oldest fishing traditions in China, Japan, and Vietnam.

You can breathe, drink and fly freely, but it will not work to swallow a large fish – remember, birds do not chew, after all.
