Japanese Cormorant

For over 1,300 years, the Japanese cormorant has been part of a traditional fishing method known as ukai. A dozen cormorants swim alongside a wooden boat, each held by a leash around the neck. The cormorants catch and swallow fish into their throat pouches and, afterwards, the fishermen make them "cough it up".
