Phalarope

quote:
What is really amazing about the phalarope is that it feeds faster than any other animal on the planet. It has a routine where it can find its prey, peck at it, grab it with its bill and swallow - and it can do this 180 times per minute! And to help it be the fastest feeder known, it spins like a whirling dervish. It creates a whirlpool in the water that sucks the food to the surface.

I had a contender, the Frogfish/Anglerfish, that sucks up it's prey in six-thousandths of a second.
