My answer is yes.

If it can fit it in it's mouth it will.

its is always near enough a certainty that if something will fit, it can be eaten...

thats a gamble that eventually... the shrimp will lose.

If he can't now, lions get bigger. And if he's a volitan, a lot bigger, it's only a matter of time!
