Seagull Snatches Camcorder, Flies Into Viral Video History [VIDEO]

Enjoy this video along with us, as we try to believe a seagull would actually pick up a tiny GoPro video camera and fly with it for a few blocks, depositing it on a rooftop. We'd also like to believe that its owner would be able to find the camera afterward.

After you've virtually soared along with the sea bird on its majestic flight -- where you can hear it breathing and see its perspective from aloft -- and after you've laughed out loud at the goofy sounds the "seagull" makes toward the end of the video, come back to earth for a moment.

Realize that the company that makes the GoPro camera is quite adept at viral videos. Another hint: According to the video's YouTube description, the seagull allegedly "stoled" that camera in Cannes, France, the location of a well-known film festival.
