I don't think they actually eat rotting carcasses. There was an episode of Man v. Wild and he said that if you see vultures eating it, you know it's pretty fresh. He then proceeded to gnaw on a dead zebra.
Yes........otherwise they never would have survived in that environment. But scorpions and snakes are sterile...they are not disease carriers.........I was talking about rancid meat containing anthrax and toxoplasmosis.
But i heard that many of these amazing animals are being poisoned by local farmers in africa(Kenya) using a pesticide(FMC corporation) but already banned in USA but still rampant in kenya.
@stegaflaps Because their stomach acid is very strong and their inner ecosystem bacteria can process it. Another reason the hyenas won't go near the vulture is because they throw up at their attacker, that would be very uncomfortable for them.
They're really quite amazing animals. They can finish off what other animals leave behind, which is a good thing. It stops disease spreading and vultures are immune to a lot of diseases! If there were no vultures than rats would take over and that would be a really bad thing
If that was a male lion then the hyenas wouldn't have even bothered attempting that, correct me if I'm wrong. Hyenas always work so well in packs, but shame one of them didn't keep an eye on the dinner lol
This is the "REAL WALL-E" dudes this is the animal that cleans the environment and leftovers from the rest. Without them there would be a lot of trash, in this case the ugliest bird ends up to be the Winner of all.
You dumb dumb. I would love to be one. Soar all day on hot air currents. Eat dead meat and just love it. Stay with the same girl and not get bord of her. Piss off all those waring humans with my dashing good looks and fantastic flying abillity.
Hi im kayla im 14yrs old and 2yrs ago i got killed by a blind girl if u dont copy and past this to 15videos im ganna kill you the next time u took a shower"
I don't agree, the Ruppell's vulture is beautiful...for a vulture. I know of some types that are very ugly and some have that, "Ok" look but this one is just spectacular!
How are the vultures and other animals are used negatively? Exploitation is the organic fundamental function of all animals. The lions kill an animal, and the vultures exploit another's kill.
You have sucky grammer, and you can't use fag right. It's nature. Something exploits something else. Vultures eat smaller animals, people eat cows, chickens, etc.
carrion birds have been death omens throughout history, it might be sad but it makes sense, and if we didn't have stories and superstitions that would be pretty sad too.
The Vultures Are Such Beautiful Animals,But Still Why Do People Got To Hate on Vulture,but They Like Lions Better why Because Lions have Manes Or They Are Savage Hunters
Wow. Amazing. It makes me sad seeing other animals get killed. I know it's part of life but I feel bad for them. I guess when you love animals it's a hard thing to watch. I can't believe how fast those vultures ate that animal. lol.
sorry i hate these too My friend died last year from chain letters repost this or she will come and kill you every thime u here a ring in your ear she will make your life shorter and shorter repost this to 10 other videos
You go out to a restaurant and order a cheeseburger. Once you get the burger though some homeless guy will start harassing you for it. Then while you get up from the table to chase him off, another more clever homeless guy will take it.
A good example of a creature that's extremely well-adapted to its environment...I always thought of vultures as being very low on the food chain, but this species seems extremely good at what it does.
Is it just my imagination or did National Geographic narration before sound more intelligent? Aside from affecting a tone of voice that sounds like someone talking to a bored 3rd grader or an America's Funniest Home Video audience, the language of this clip is riddled with lazy, imprecise colloquialisms. Now we must wonder: is TV making Americans more stupid, or are Americans making TV more stupid?
They have a couple different narrators. Most of them are good, but THIS one, for some reason, has been popular lately and his commentary is about as good as America's Funniest Animals (it might even be the same guy).
I just hope they fire him soon, or at least relegate him to children's narration.
I remember there was a vulture couple that used to sit on a light pole for many years near a forest. I think house construction around their land forced them to migrate.
well a lioneses are scared of clan of hyenas, only lions that can beat hyenas are males, so if it wont for the hyenas them birds wouldnt have got to eat!!
Its more like how the lion kills the antelope, the hyenas chase off the lion and then the vultures eats it all o.o All the while they were just standing there staring and doing none of the work! :p
