That might be because, as predators, they have the most forward-looking eyes (to aid binocular vision), giving them a more human-like gaze than other birds
This gentleman sounds like he knows what he is talking about. I'm so impressed by people who speak multiple languages and/or know the Latin/scientific names in nature
The bird at 9:35 and then again at 9:43 is a 'Gypaetus barbatus', known as "Quebrantahuesos" in Spanish, which translates as "bone-breaker". In Spain, it is critically endangered, although it apparently is doing better in other parts of the world. Its Spanish name originated from the habit this bird has of grabbing bones and shells of the corpses it finds, and making them fall from great heights onto rocks, to shatter them and eat the soft bone-marrow or meat inside. For hundreds of years, this poor bird was feared and hunted down in Spain, that's because of the red ring around its eyes and its aforementioned habit of grabbing corpses, it was thought to be some incarnation of the devil, making it almost extinct in Spain, but now it's protected
There has always been a lot of superstition/myth/ritual around this bird, maybe because of that bone-dropping habit. In Ancient Greece they were considered an omen (although I can't recall whether a bad or good one) and some Ancient Greek, whose name I also forget, is said to have been killed by a tortoise dropped by a lammergeier.
I saw a nankeen kestrel once in Tasmania doing exactly that. What was even more fascinating was how from a distance, it's white/black underside was barely distinguishable from a seagull, but when it landed it looked more like a falcon.
Note about Kites: the Snail Kite, who prey upon Apple Snails, have in recent years in Florida adapted to eating Crawdads, Black Crappie, and even other invasive Snails as their main source of nourishment as their preferred prey has become scarce in certain parts of their range. Incredible how adaptable Raptors are, it's always a pleasure working with them.
Wow that is amazing to hear. It's crazy how fast animals can adapt, and then eventually evolve... that reminds me of this bird in Australia(I can't remember the name off the top of my head) but they are one of the only predators that have adapted to eat the invasive species of cane toads.. they avoid the toads venom glands by flipping them over and eating their stomach parts. Totally awesome in my opinion especially since no other predator can put a dent In the cane toad population over there
This is likely because colonists from Europe (England) mistook the dark silhouettes of turkey vultures in the Americas for common buzzards due to their similar flight pattern and the name stuck.
As a kid that grew up being glewed to the tv when a documentary was on, I find this series of videos very well done even though i dont understand pounds and feet
Love this channel. Funnily enough I’ve noticed taxonomy is becoming more and more interesting to society at large. I think the way that taxonomic links are taught in school turn people off, but fundamentally, understanding how life is all connected is fascinating to most people- as long as the information is effectively visualised.
Thank you! I've been struggling with working out how much taxonomic information to include in these videos. It's the main inspiration behind making this series but I know not everyone is interested in it, so your comment helped, thanks!
I think TH-cam really helps with this, seeing a bunch of Latin on a page isn't interesting (to most people) but panning and zooming through a taxonomic tree with cutaways to example video clips is very engaging
I don't think I was ever really taught about evolution or taxonomy at school, only at an extremely basic level and quickly. I doubt anyone I went to school with knows what a cladogram is, or can even name the Linnaean ranks, even going to a "smart" high school. I think most young people who know about this stuff know about it cause they just freaking love it and they explore it on their own.
Seriemas are also related to the now-extinct Terror-Birds. Being the closest animal left to them. Watching Seriemas kill their prey, you can really tell the family link.
One explanation I've come across for reversed sexual dimorphism among birds of prey is that it provides them a manoeuvrability advantage in aerial combat -- the idea being animals that largely fight on a two dimensional plane benefit more from increased size allowing them to push around their rivals, but those that fight in three dimensions benefit more from increased manoeuvrability.
idk... manoeubrability is usefull for avoiding threats and attacks, just like crows do when they disturb eagles, and is not that usefull if you want to face your oponent (maybe they'll escape you if you're not that agile, but you then come as the winner, so what do they achieve with that?). I'd read about behavioural biology of species which have larger females than males before coming up with anything i'd made up
@@marc5279 Forgive me if I misunderstood your intent, but the way I read the last line of your reply it would seem to imply you think I'm just making shit up. However, as I stated at the beginning of my comment, this is not my personal hypothesis but one that I came across and found plausible -- and if true, one would expect to see similar reversed sexual dimorphism in other species that fight in three dimensions, like fish. As you rightly point out, increased manoeuvrability is an asset in evasive actions, but you seem to overlook the fact -- known to fighter pilots and aerospace engineers -- it also allows you to quickly change direction and attack your opponent from behind, helping the victor drive away rivals from contested nesting and feeding grounds. In the video, if I recall correctly, it was said that no one knows for sure why birds of prey have reversed sexual dimorphism. I do not claim that increased agility is definitely the answer, just and interesting hypothesis. But maybe you know of a more convincing explanation. If so, please do share.
@@andrewmurphy8154 someone had theyr butt hurt and is in need to use fancy words to elevate himself. I said I'd read about behavioural biology of species which have larger females than males, as there's plenty of information and predictability about it when the situation is the other way around (males larger than females). And i'm sorry if i understood that you came up with this because you said "i've come across". My english is not as good as i may think :P Also, i don't think it's a matter of 2D vs 3D, but rather a matter of friction of the medium in which these animals travel trough (in this case, air). Inside the dense water, for ex., the lesser ratio weigth~surface doens't seem to affect that much your hability to make fast changes of direction because it sustains you a lot anyway. But in the low density air, having a bit more weigth, means that you need a substancial lot more surface to keep up with the agility you'd had if you didn't have that extra bit of weig. In any case, i'd say is usefull to be lighter in the air if these allows you to be more agile AND if you are able to shoot projectiles... that way being able to put yourself behind your oponent is really advantageous because you can shoot him from the back. But birds need to make physical contact, and physical contact is about strength. If you'd be able to approach your oponent better than him, you'd be the one who could decide when to engage or not, but as soon as there's contact and he grabs you, you're done
@@marc5279 I don't know what "fancy" words you think I used to try and "elevate" myself. The only remotely "fancy" term I used was quoting from the video (reversed sexual dimorphism). But that's fine -- we each have our own writing styles. Your point that I should read more behavioral biology is a valid, and one taken -- it never hurts to read more. That said, I don't think your assertion that attack from behind is only advantageous when able to fire off projectiles is entirely logical. Of course, all animals need to make direct physical contact in order to inflict a wound on their opponent, and physical contests are often largely determined by strength. But why then are crows able to reliably chase off much larger birds? I'd argue, besides mobbing, their increased agility allows them to attack from behind where their opponent is most vulnerable, with the only defense then being either to flee or for the harried bird to present its talons by turning upside-down, but then, in so doing, sacrificing precious momentum (making it well near impossible to get a hold of its attacker to make use of its greater strength). So, I still think a case can be made that animals that engage in conspecific fights in three dimensions benefit from increased agility more so than those that largely fight in two dimensions (like mountain goats, moose, or bears) who benefit more from larger mass. Anyway, whatever the evolutionary answer may be, you and I are not going to come to the answer in the comment section here. Happy birding, and I hope you get plenty of good pictures of whatever species it is you're into.
Increased manueverability is a completely plausible reason for this sexual dimorphism. Condescending Marc seems to be rather offended by such a possibility for some odd reason. Predators, including lions and even bears, often avoid physical brawls for the sake of preventing injury. Even your most primal animal is well aware that injury equals no hunting and no hunting equals death. Due to their habitat, perhaps males simply grew smaller as a result of their tedency to avoid danger, being smaller is also better for hunting faster prey -- therefore increasing chances to survive for mating, whereas females sizes remain unchanged for reproductive reasons (producing several eggs and sitting on the nest are some examples). Physical contact brawls among these birds are the exception, not the norm. Which is why territorial fueds among eagles always begin with attempts to ward off the intruder as opposed to a direct assault.
Anxiously awaiting your next video. Though I know it must be such hard work to put these together, you do such an excellent job. I like showing these to my 6 yr old, you learn so much AND the videos are fascinating and fun! Please keep it up, you’ve got a great thing going here!!
First, I have been crazy about owls for decades, so HOW did I not know about the eyes? Dark/black are strictly nocturnal, orange are crepuscular, and yellow are diurnal? OMFG, I'm floored! And, those Collared falconets... they are freaking amazing little critters! Fluffy little raptors that look more like Silkies (except for color) than anything else? Amazing looking little guys and gals!!
dude i just watched all the other episodes of this series and thought to myself “man one on birds of prey would be cool.” a week later and you came through! so cool, keep it up man. great content.
Thank you for giving some real and useful information which is in sharp contrast to videos most often giving the wrong or exaggerated information. So please continue oit would make an important addition to our knowledge.
I love your channel. I learn of at least one or more new animals that I've never heard of each video! It's great because sometimes you get to thinking you know all that life has to offer, and it becomes monotonous. But when I discover a new animal it's like wait, there's so much more out there to discover! So thanks for that.
These series are great 👍 always had in interest in animals but you touch on species, subspecies, pr info ( owl eyes) ive never heard or seen before. Keep up the great work. The accent doesn't hurt either, like flashbacks of Attneborough.
Your videos are so well organized and clearly have quite a bit of passion put into them. As an entomology grad student I really love how your videos are structured. Please keep up the good work!
I enjoy this channel a lot. Most other natural wildlife channels are good but they all speak so damn soft or to slow nowadays. You got confidence in your explanations and that makes the videos very enjoyable to listen to and learn from.
I gave your video a like only because I love birds of prey! Your video wasn't too informative! Though, cool videos!! You honestly need to make a documentary about these birds that you put on TH-cam!! You honestly and truly need to go into everything about who these birds are! This will give you years and years of video and research that'll enlighten all of us on this planet!! Think about it!!

Wonderful images and information. We are lucky enough to live near woodlands where Red Kites and Buzzards nest. Beautiful to see them playing on the wing at low level over our garden.
Very nice video, we can tell that this type of video requires a lot of work behind them, we appreciate them so much, keep going, super interesting and accurate 🔥
The level of detail on these videos is perfect, impressive how many clades are covered in the time of the videos, and the pacing is just right to always keep my attention. That being said, I would love to see a video on cetaceans.
Hi guys! I have watched you guys since the first video, and I love your videos on the animal kingdom. You guys should do the salamander and newt video! :)
Some quick little facts: turkey vultures are also sometimes referred to as buzzards here in the States. Also it is believed by some that the seriemas are the closest living relatives of the extinct terror birds of North and South America.
Wow, thank you, David! At Christmas, I went through the whole animal kingdom and made a list of 50 videos I would like to make (on the most interesting families or clades of animal) so I'm just working my way though them one by one!
What a great video to open the door to learn more about these amazing creatures. We have a population of Cooper's Hawks in our neighborhood. Watching them hunt doves and squirrels is quite a sight to see.
Such beautiful birds. Ty for all the educational videos re: all animals. 💖🦍🐯🦁🐆🐎🐺🦊🦓🦌🐮🐪🐫🦒🦉🦆🐇🐿🦔🦇🐸🐊🐢💖 Yes, I do love all animals. There are a few exceptions though: centipedes, garden slugs, earwigs, and all parasitic things like fleas, mosquitoes, etc. Adding this request: parrots? And sticking with our feathered friends, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys? Please. Ty for all these videos.
I would this add to your comment about bald eagles:. The nest can get very large because they add to their nest every year. Sometimes it results in the tree coming down because of the nest getting so big. And the osprey carry their fish in line with body as they fly to reduce wind resistance as shown at 10:15.
wow excellent video and a great classification of raptors. I wish you would make a video about batoids (rays, skates, guitarfish, manta rays and sawfish), because everyone talks about sharks but hardly anyone talks about batomorphs. Greetings.
Birds of prey also have the most expressive faces out of all birds, which makes them even more loveable.
That might be because, as predators, they have the most forward-looking eyes (to aid binocular vision), giving them a more human-like gaze than other birds
Appreciate the dedication. running a educational channel is so difficult you have to do so much research. you are doing great.
Thank you so much!

They also get their reddish-brown color on feathers by "dust bathing", without dirt on them their feathers are white
i think they're more commonly known as the bearded vulture or the lammergeier

Hey, appreciate the videos, I have really been enjoying them, been watching a different one before bed for the past couple of weeks new
What a great video to open the door to learn more about these amazing creatures. We have a population of Cooper's Hawks in our neighborhood. Watching them hunt doves and squirrels is quite a sight to see.
Such beautiful birds. Ty for all the educational videos re: all animals.

Yes, I do love all animals. There are a few exceptions though: centipedes, garden slugs, earwigs, and all parasitic things like fleas, mosquitoes, etc.
Adding this request: parrots? And sticking with our feathered friends, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys? Please. Ty for all these videos.
Great Job love your channel!
I would this add to your comment about bald eagles:. The nest can get very large because they add to their nest every year. Sometimes it results in the tree coming down because of the nest getting so big.
And the osprey carry their fish in line with body as they fly to reduce wind resistance as shown at 10:15.
wow excellent video and a great classification of raptors.
I wish you would make a video about batoids (rays, skates, guitarfish, manta rays and sawfish), because everyone talks about sharks but hardly anyone talks about batomorphs.
Greetings.
