This was one amazing fact I will never ever forget. I read about this first when I was probably in my single digit of age. I think it was from Tinkle I got this piece of information, not sure now. It was really a long time ago.
For hundreds of years Chinese fishermen have been using hand-reared cormorants to hunt for their supper.
The birds, which are considered a pest by some anglers in Britain, swim deep underwater searching for a meal.
They are fitted with a ring around their neck before they dive to prevent them from swallowing their catch.
This means that when they do resurface, they will regurgitate the fish before returning to hunt again.
