The Great Blue Heron may be the answer to NYC's infamous growing rat problem ... taking out one rodent by feasting on it -- whole -- in Central Park.

Video of the wild feast is going viral online ... with users on Reddit just about losing it over the graphic demonstration of predator vs. prey.

Watch the video ... according to the original poster, the jaw-dropping incident took place on Saturday as they did a bit of yoga in the park with a friend -- and found themselves watching a scene they described as "dinosaurian."

"Hawk Tuah" girl's gonna be spittin' on that ... mic, thanks to Jake Paul ... the Problem Child's Betr company inked a deal with Haliey Welch, and she's launching a brand new podcast!

Russian circus trainer Sergei Prichinich is lucky to be alive after his nearly 500-lb bear costar, named Donut, recently went full attack mode during a recent live show.

In a video making the rounds online ... Sergei and Donut are entertaining a crowd of parents and children, with the brown bear riding a hoverboard near her trainer in an enclosure.

The act soon goes horribly wrong ... Donut jumps off the hoverboard and sprints after Sergei, tackling the trainer and pinning him to the ground for over a minute -- to the horror of the crowd -- aggressively whipping its head back and forth as Prichinich calmly defends himself with a baton.

A Florida State football fan wrote a check he couldn't cash ... 'cause he's gone into hiding after promising to eat a steaming pile of dog dookie if his beloved Seminoles lost on Monday -- and now, a ton of big names want to hold him accountable.

An X user by the name @321nole made the eye-popping declaration last week ... stating if FSU fell to Boston College, he would "eat dog s*** out of a red solo cup with a spoon and post a video of me doing it. Book it."

9:02 AM PT -- NASA released a statement on its findings regarding the strange sound heard by astronaut Butch Willmore, stating, "A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner."

The statement continued, "The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback. The crew is asked to contact mission control when they hear sounds originating in the comm system. The speaker feedback Wilmore reported has no technical impact to the crew, Starliner, or station operations, including Starliner’s uncrewed undocking from the station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 6."

As if being stranded in space for the foreseeable future wasn't enough ... one of the astronauts stuck aboard the ISS just sent NASA audio of an ominous noise coming from their faulty Boeing Starliner aircraft.

In audio first reported by Ars Technica, astronaut Butch Wilmore can be heard communicating with Johnson Space Center in Houston ... telling mission control, "I've got a question about Starliner. There's a strange noise coming through the speaker ... I don't know what's making it."

Mission control configured a way for Butch to play the sound through the phone ... and after one failed attempt at hearing it, mission control confirmed, "Butch, that one came through. It was kind of like a pulsating noise, almost like a sonar ping."

Ed Sheeran's giving his fans with poor hearing some grief ... telling one of them she's probably on a watchlist 'cause she misheard an iconic line in a song.

Here's the deal ... in the song "Thinking Out Loud" Sheeran croons he will love an unnamed person "until we're 70" -- a line meant to convey a long-lasting love.

However, fans have been giving the pop star guff ... 'cause what happens to the love when a person in the couple turns 71, they ask. This has sparked a viral trend of people jokingly flipping off the camera -- POV of what happens when ya age out by Ed's standards.

A huge fireball just exploded in East London ... but, cops are telling people not to worry -- 'cause it's all just movie magic.

A police officer in Texas has a lot of potential as a gator wrestler when he's ready to retire ... 'cause new body cam footage shows him wrangling the baby reptile.

The incident -- occurring last Friday in Fulshear, Texas -- was caught on body cam footage, showing an officer saunter up to a home to remove the gator from the property.

Watch the clip ... the officer walks up to the scaly creature pretty calmly -- saying he got a call. Instead of reaching out to animal control, he's got it handled -- since it ain't a huge gator.

Everything's bigger in Texas ... and apparently, that includes passengers' pre-boarding entertainment, because a Delta gate agent gave a crowd of awaiting passengers an impromptu disco performance for the ages!

Awaiting Houston Delta Passengers didn't know they had a layover in "Funkytown" until they were treated to a one-man show by a Delta employee with some mooooves.

A chill day at a Texas pool turned intense real quick ... with things spiraling into violence, shouting the n-word and total mayhem when a man displays a gun during a heated disagreement -- all caught on video.

The confrontation escalates quickly as a guy in a hat squares up to a man who shows a gun, then wraps it up in some clothing -- before a buddy pulls the guy in the cap away to avoid a fight.

But, the gunman keeps chirping and follows them to the edge of the pool -- and things get violent.
