Raptor vs. Deadly Snake

[@RomulusTheWild6693]

I can't remember the last time a seriema bird appeared in a documentary without being compared to their prehistoric relatives so this is a real treat for me

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

Overall seriema is pretty rare to appear in any shows, even if it take place in south America. Apparently this bird overshadowed by jaguar, anteater, piranha, or capybara and tapir

[@MorganMghee]

I love it when PBS finds an animal I've never heard of!

[@OregonCrow]

Humanizing channel, a creature doesn't "give up because it has chicks to raise". Nearly every sound effect in the video is fake, all to provide good television to those who don't know better. Straight up Zombie TV, lol.

[@darthmirelives3938]

Me too! However, I was born in 73'. Those times are getting fewer and fewer.😢

[@Mario-kl8yq]

The last terror bird alive.

[@lil----lil]

No chance. Ultra Sharp Beak. The Body Slame. Two elongated Claws & a pair of wings for distraction & defense. NO CONTEST.

[@k.pacificnw02134]

Interesting that it's in the raptor class. Because it looks somewhat like a crane or a heron, but also like a grouse or pheasant.

[@Monchegorx]

It's not closely related to any other bird group alive.

[@theotheseaeagle]

It’s closest relatives are the phorusrhacids or terror birds which are closely related to other birds of prey. In fact the term “raptor” is misleading. They aren’t a single group, in fact some raptors such as falcons are more closely related to parrots than they are to other predatory birds like hawks or eagles. They all just converged on a similar body plan because of their similar ecological niches which lead to people thinking they were all closely related.

[@stephen6640]

Smart bird and it's tenderizing it for the chicks too

[@redla-z9i]

I wasn't prepared for these slams lol

[@wanimalworld]

These snakes are scarier than Burmese Pythons in Florida

[@Archtyp3]

The bird's slam attack is pretty deadly for snakes. That downward whipping toss can literally snap the snakes' spine which can leave it paralyzed.

[@santasangre996]

And cant even use a wheelchair. Poor snake

[@EliBelcherBeatbyeli]

The sound effects are sending me

[@allankang7374]

I guess you can call them "raptor", based on their dromeosauroid looking clawed toe...

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

They call it raptor because it's an animal that kills other animals for food, which is the definition of raptor.

[@allankang7374]

@einundsiebenziger5488 definition of raptor is "thief, plunderer". If every animal (bird) is called a raptor simply because it kills other animals as food, then almost every bird is a raptor, since insects, fish, etc., are animals. Penguins would be raptors, flycatchers, herons, storks, pelicans, are all considered raptors under that definition.

[@ezetignalnajat2489]

Relative of now extinct terror birds...

An amazing raptor

I was rooting for the baby snake

[@sarahchristine2345]

I wonder how many non-avian dinosaurs used this same, or a similar method 🤔

[@touremuhammad5983]

Pretty sure this bird isn’t even related to other Birds of Prey.

[@rookbirdblues]

Not closely, but it is in the sister group to falcons. Its closest relatives would be an extinct family of huge flightless predatory birds called the terror birds. All of these groups, including the falcons and caracaras, are more closely related to songbirds and parrots than they are to hawks and eagles!

[@touremuhammad5983]

@@rookbirdbluesI knew about the Terror Bird part but not the falcon part. I thought they were related to cranes.

[@dorksours3912]

Agreed, plus secretary birds are unlikely to run from venomous snakes they're hunting. They have armored feet to glance off fang bites, and it they do get bit, they have evolved to be very resistant to snake venom.
