I love this story in showcasing the complexity of predator-prey relationships. Also the forensics details are fascinating. I have had the fortune of holding and trying to control adult loons while biologists worked over either the subject or it's chick. I was heavily warned of the danger of the sharp beak and the powerful neck. It is a balance of strong hold yet gentle enough not to smother the animal. The strength of the neck is quite evident, and that beak near your face alarming.
