- You should always stop for the little things while in the bush, because you never know where a sighting might lead! For this group, stopping for a family of warthogs lead to them watching a live kill!

Nazeem Mohammed, a 49-year-old Trade Finance Banker, tells LatestSightings.com the story:
“Early Monday morning in December 2018, we shot this scene right near Malelane Gate.
To license the footage:
Contact@LatestSightings.com
It was a quiet, uneventful drive along the S114 where I was filming Impala, Spurfowl and some elephant along the way before coming across a warthog family.
At first, just filming the warthog, it appeared to be an uneventful, run-of-the-mill drive. For some reason, I kept filming as the piglets ran from beneath one tree to the next before crossing over the road. My family and I were completely unaware of the Martial Eagle who remained hidden until the piglets crossed the road in the open.
My son was first to notice the eagle swoop in from the left, just out of shot and thankfully I maintained a steady hand and kept the piglets in focus. Only once the Eagle hooked its target did I realise just what a remarkable sighting I had just caught! Excitement naturally took over... We remained with the kill despite the many cars which stopped to investigate the sighting but who left soon after.
2 hours later, once the eagle felt comfortable enough and flew down from the nearby tree again, it secured the piglet in its talon and walked it across the S114 to a nearby bush under which it fed. At that point, given the number of cars also jockeying for position to see this, we left with an amazing memory.
This sighting is even rarer than a big cat kill, as there is very little to none easily available footage of a martial eagle kill in the Kruger Park.
This wondrous wildlife haven we call the Kruger National Park can turn the most mundane, uneventful sighting into something memorable, if one is but patient. I would advise visitors to stop and enjoy everything of interest and not just chase that elusive cat sighting... Given time, as this video proves, anything can happen at any time.
The Martial Eagle is one of the most majestic and elegant of the eagle species. Seeing one execute a successful kill after remaining so well hidden is a once in a lifetime sighting. I hope all Kruger and bird lovers enjoy this video as much as my family and I did of the sighting in person.”

That’s mean af but funny still 😂
🤣🤣
Lol
GRPTCQW😅😅😅😅
😂
Baby warthog: SOMEONE HELP ME
Eagle: Nothing to see here 👀
🤣
That's sounds like a cop and a black American
Amazing how the eagle stretches its wings like that while on the kill. Its instinctively hiding it from other predators that would want to steal it.
@@k.k8791
Injuries between cop and black american are not funny, or this video is funny. So your comment is irrelevant and you would not have to make jokes on sad realities.
@Dave Micolichek oh yeah! How is that?
I love how eagles just sit there holding they prey, not even looking at the prey much because they know that's not the threat any more... The threat is something else while they're holding the prey...
Good point
No. It's grabbing onto the prey and stabbing it with its talons until it stops moving.

@@AsgarnianAleWe know how it got the warthog, OP was talking about why the eagle was frantically looking around.
@@thefordlord9893 probably. I suppose I should really say we don't know what the animal is really thinking in its head
Great camera work through that earthquake.
😀😆👌
Haaaaaaaa!!!
Hahahaha every single time man. Teenage girls are more gifted with the cam
🤣🤣
I Do not get it what Funny?
That Eagle was looking around to see if the police was coming 😂
Bilal Int'l Lmao he must’ve been a Black bird....😉
@@champtouch3298 Implying niggas be looking for cops because they killed something?
Whew lad.
😂😂
The police being the parents or another predator
Don't be stupid. Eagle don't recognise police man as a
threat.
Eagle is actually looking around for other predators... the saying 'eagle eye' is appropriate. They have excellent vision and are extremely alert.
hold this L idiet
My brain: How many more animals must die before you are willing to sleep?
Copy paste much?
Winston - You maniac! You killed me with that one! 🤣😆
😂😂
My wife doesn’t get it.
No SHIT brother!! I mean, really...
This is how I feel leaving the grocery store with too many bags to carry.
This is probably the guy who records fights at school jeez man hold it still 😂
I love how the Eagle just returns by casually walking over and grabs the dead piglet and walks away with it like a boss. 😂 Glad to see the theropods are still with us, as birds of prey. 🥰

What an rare and awesome catch on film... Thanks for sharing!
The way he walks with it in his claw is freakin hilarious!!!😹😹😹

The way he walks with it, like toddlers walking in their dads shoes.😆
You try walking the next time you have a warthog attached to your foot... not so easy.
😂😂
3:00 Bruh the disrespect 😂🤣
hahahahaahahaha....exactly...like killing it wasn't enough
That eagle was rockin' that hog like a fresh new pair of Jordans! 🐷👟
😂😂😂
For sho 😂😂🤣😋
Lol i see what u did there
Hog Toe 1s
Nah its all about Adidas nowadays
The eagle coving the hog like"nothing to see here, move on now please"
Lol
So true
Yhe
@Mugwort hy
It's called mantleing which all birds of prey do instinctively to hide their prey from other predators. Of course it doesn't work as well as intended.
He killed it just with it's Talons. That's incredible skills.
Edit : Thanks guys for the correction, learnt a new word😊
Talons.
Talons*
Cfull
well their claws are razor sharp so its not that impressive.
He died out of shock given by her..
3:00 "Where the hell is my other shoe"
😂😂😂
I like how the eagle isnt really worried about the warthog just more focused on the danger around his surroundings
Patricia Mckee yY
The cameraman had one job!
......and he screwed up
They always do on this raggedy channel.🙄😔
TBH we didn't miss anything and we saw the action
People sitting in there cars watching this is the same as aliens in UFOs watching us
But UFO's are probably better at holding cameras while filming.
No because we are not aliens to them we are a predator from the the same world while aliens are not from this world
Yep pretty much..
More like if a bunch of sharks surrounded a dude fishing in a canoe and just watched
@@getsinged7631 .my mlL mo no VM no Jo JP... No no
Wow.. what a great timing... Beautiful video... Thanks for sharing 👍
2:34 LUL the eagle walking on the ground "just doin my evening walk, oh look, finders keepers"
You pay thousands of dollars to go on safari with expensive camera equipment, and you can't hold the camera still!
Money buys no skills
Dizzy lol
If you think this is expensive camera equipment you should take another look
Haha good
The Eagle is nonmuslim
The guides know what they are doing by simply locating a food source and wait a couple of minutes for a memorable experience
The bird is walking like he has a special shoe on
This is something that you not see so often! The eagles are so impressive!
Eagle walks like me when I'm trying to get something off of the bottom of my shoe.
That’s me at the buffet asking for the big piece of steak and then couldn’t finish it all so I try to hide it under another plate 😂
The Eagle was looking around to see if the mother was going to come charging.
Not only the mother but other predators as well. Birds are always more careful when there on the ground.
3:00 when little kids be grabbing on to your leg and you try to walk away
@BARRY BONDS OUT i was thinking along the same lines..These damn things get eaten and hunted by everything including us.There long lost couisin the pig also tastes great
P
@BARRY BONDS OUT theyre way tastier than regular pork soooo even is a delicacy lol
@BARRY BONDS OUT 😂
ha ha, lol
He's rocking the new pumbas😂😂😂😂😂
That's actually pretty goddamn funny
Haha nice!
walkin across the road like...Yeah
@@SuperChipperson ,..
Nice! 😎
Eagle was like...nothing to see here, just keep it movin’...
A once in a lifetime being at the right spot at the right time with a video camera.
但八
Using it as a shoe is pretty gangster lol
CE literally Lol good shit
CE Eagle was like: "Yeah try to sing "Hakuna Matata" now that you are my shoe..."
Eagle was like, "Croc shoes? Nah, check out my Hog shoes! Just let me find my other one"
@@mr.snippy U r very funny, Mr Snippy
lol
The eagle was lookin around like "keep it movin, nothin to see here"
00:57 " Did someone say murder ?? Oh no no just thought he needed a lift. nothing to see here...." 😂🤣
What an incredibly lucky catch! For the camera I mean... the eagle made its catch look about as routine as brushing its teeth in the morning. "And now for breakfast... hmm what'll it be today?"
Eagle walks away like a boss with one foot of shoe🤣🤣🤣
Great footage, thanks for sharing 😊
That eagle got that look like he tryna be sneaky and somebody’s coming lol
That eagle just got himself a
Double Big Mac Happy meal
Only those burgers are made from cows so....🤷
#weakassjoke
Do they even offer big macs w happy meals????
.....and arent big macs already "double"?
Bro you attempt at humor was an utter failure. 👎👎👎👎👎
askary garcia in my mind
askary garcia hurt my feelings. Break my spirit.
Martial Eagle one of my favorites. Amazing footage!
Kruger Sightings never disappoints!
More of this please!
suck
Yep
0:57
The hawk is like
Hawk: Nothing to see here, folks.
I like how the Eagle keeps looking at them like " don't just stand there do something"!!!!!!!!
The eagles hiding it like "nothing to see here" lol
Amazing footage! What a catch by that eagle! Always nice to somehow get footage of something rare.
how dramatically she is taking that to road side 😅😅😂😂😂😂
Brilliant capture by the Eagle; what a fantastic hunter!!!
OMG -- Great video! --- This camera man clearly has excellent camera skills. I don't understand why everyone else is complaining.
I hope he makes more videos *JUST LIKE THIS ONE!* ... (Oh and God bless Pumba)
A martial eagle, I think. Remarkable bird. Beautiful plumage.
And at the end he was doing the Silly Walk.
@christian Williams pretty strong bird of prey.
@christian Williams i thought the harping eagle was the biggest bird in africa it's actually bigger than the martial
@@chalie4154 Harpies aren't in Africa, the Crowned Eagle which is similar but a little smaller is there. The Martial is bigger than the Crowned but the Crowned is known to kill larger prey. All three are bad ass.
@Ex Essex: Does it talk?
3:09 Eagle : Goddam, I gotta get me another warthog. They make great pairs of slippers.
Wow what a catch for an eagle wow great camera person great job covering it.
That's why i love eagle, they're incredible
Never seen something like this... My fav channel
The eagle has a new shoe. Needs a second though.
He is such a king that he made cars stop until he finishes his hunt.
He looking around like what anybody wanna try me!!🤣
Lol
"Okay dudes you've seen me catch and kill him. Stop following me now."
Death will swoop down on us with the same speed and accuracy of that eagle!
That is exactly!
Truth...at any time.
Amazing as always
He's covering up the Murder scence and Is like "I'm just resting".
Possibly the rarest kill video on this entire channel.
All of TH-cam... nobody has a video like this!
Indeed. The cameraman was clever to follow the piglets. The eagle was wise to cover its kill with its wings.The mother thought best to make a run for cover with the rest of her babies
Who ever filmed this was going through alcohol withdrawal
Agreed..
I gotta get my fix man I need it
Hence the dislike given.
Yea, even so it’s not hard to stabilize a camera without a tripod, just while it close to your chest or rest it on a surface.
Meth
Eagle be like "don't mind me I'm just taking my lunch to go"
Amazing how the Eagle both walked and carried the baby warthog at the same time at the end
Baby warthog: *Running about, minding its own business.*
Martial eagle: Swiggity swooty, coming for that booty!
Baby warthog: Running about, minding its own business.
Martial eagle: I, Martial Eagle, have a dream.
At the time of fighting for existence and life with eagle , tiger and crocodile..how they are making danger the lives of innocent helpless zebra, bufallo and deers..the eye witnesses of these dangerous games daily in and around the forest, but the hunting qualified peoples watching the games of life and death..and alas they are enjoying and lougphing..is it humanityed. while they love animals..giving the wron and un-humanity activities..Zaki Jamal ..Hyderabad, India.8106478063
I like the eagle. He’s like “OK folks nothing to see here, moving along moving along”
Eagle: What are you looking at?
Baby warthog: hel-
eagle: *shut*
That's crazy how accurate they are to go straight for the head.
If only Hollywood could get up to this standard of camera work I'd live at the cinema.
Eagle was walking with the warthog like." Hey, checkout my new Pumbas."
Boomp!!
This guy was still taking calls out there? 😂
"Yeah, let me call you back. I'm about ready to lose my appetite here watching an eagle tear open a warthog!"
The calls he was getting was "bring me an elephant tusk along with that eagle"
When raptors stand over their prey wings spread (mantling), it looks so badass. Like nature's executioner.
*eagle covering hog with wings* "nothin' to see here! ...oh this? This is my new pet! I'm teaching him to give me piggy back rides!" XD
They were laughing and talking about:
"go quick can get them both, then make a hawk-hog hotpot for super! good I brought sakei!"
Very rare sight a martial eagle with a warthog. Amazing footage
The shaking made me more dizzy than the baby warthog fending off the eagle attack.
WOW. You get some pretty good sightings here and this one has gold written all over it.What were the chances of catching that on camera..the martial eagle at its primal best.Those talons at the end were insane..Exceptional footage.
Awesome to hear from you!
Hey my friend.👍
When Eagle showing his new Warthog shoes to visitors .
1:12 me strangling my little brother down while looking around to see if mom is coming
I hope you don't actually strangle your little brother. If you do please don't do that anymore. It's wrong
3:05 that walk when u have wet mud on shoes
Amazing and incredibly rare footage !
Baby warthog:MOMMY!!😫
वीडियो बनाने के बजाय, उस निरह प्राड़ी को बचाना चाहिए।खुद को उस जीव की जगह रख कर एक बार देखो।

Excellent video capture, sir. Those kind of sightings and to be able to document is once in a lifetime event.

Karen ji very good👍
Recently, I have noticed the coolness of birds!
We don't have much (according to the world anyway) but I think we have everything in Africa and I feel blessed. You just have to find a remote spot and you will witness such things 365 days a yea🇿🇦🇿🇼🇿🇲🇧🇼
Yes that explains ancient African wisdom.in contrast to "intelligence" " religious dogmas" of many other areas
The wild is scary bruh, is do or die everyday
💯
Such is life
I'm convinced if you're a shitty person in life you come back as a warthog
Good catch
Pumba doesn't like to talk about his brother and I know why
If it hasn't already been stated out of the 2.9 thousand comments the eagle is a Martial eagle. Wingspan wise (up to about 8 feet) it is the largest eagle in Africa, but second in talon strength, according to most authorities, to the Crowned eagle.
I’m sure this was just an eagle procuring various meats for christmas … she got her leg ham sorted as well as other various pork cuts. Great idea, plus free range and organic! Can’t beat it.
All that shaking, its like the camera guy wanted to give us the full effect of what the baby warthog was going thru just before death!
