Ice Cream Thief

A Japanese tourist bought an ice cream cone at a scenic location and prepared to take a selfie with it.  To their surprise they managed to snap a picture of a seagull at the exact moment when it stole their ice cream:

An utterly unrepentant expression.  The University of Exeter have done a study on this phenomenon.  Seagulls were presented with two identical food items – one of which they had seen a human holding.  The gulls pecked more often at the handled food, showing a preference for it.

The tourist traded an ice cream cone for a priceless picture!
