Wow! What a piece of filming! I've seen snakes and other birds (hawks, falcons, even gulls) catching flying bats before but seeing hornbills do it was a wow moment for me. Wildlife footage about hornbills often focuses on their unusual habit of incarcerating the nesting female in a hole in a tree with the male then responsible for all the feeding. The adults seem to eat mostly fruit but once the chicks hatch, the male brings in a lot of large insects and other invertebrates, like mantises. I've never seen one deliver a mammal before. Brilliant bit of photography - well done!

The maneuverability of both birds is absolutely incredible. The Hornbills are like VTOL jets when they want to be. Since they don't have those talons and speed that a hawk-eagle has, they just work smarter, not harder. Seems like a smarter way to conserve energy if you don't have to capabilities of the hawk-eagles.
If I were to search for this knowledge myself, it could take me a some of whole life and there's chance of missing. With BBC Earth, I could learn it within three minutes. Amazing!
That's because birds are descendant of bipedal dinosaur (or more appropriately, birds are the only surviving dinosaurs and are particularly close to raptors).
@@eurynomei3753 I know, that's why I absolutely love when they look like Dinosaurs in my opinion even chickens (mainly Roosters) are just tiny velociraptors who actually use their claws/legs to attack things just like raptors

It's April the 23rd, 2024 and in the end, "It's all just a numbers game..." The bats flying out of the cave, a bunch of them will be preyed upon, the others will survive these daily assaults and move into their next event that will put them in jeopardy.

From random strokes of luck, to finding the right partner, competing for jobs, competing for resources that are deemed "scarce", financial stability and our health, they all have one thing in common, probability. Some of us will get everything we desire, some of us won't. Life is not fair and it was never meant to be but probability and numbers does indeed play a large role in our existence.. An amazing, beautifully captured clip displaying the hardships of life captured by the BBC that in deep thought, reflects our perils in life.....
Im in awe of this type of footage. But my mind always goes to imagining the same encounters but with Huge creatures falling from the sky taking down a two ton creature wile running knocking down huge trees. The colors, the sounds and massive sizes a million years ago.

Hey I tell yah I love nature and this first sight for me is simply and nothing short of amazing he grabbed those bats so good and hard the bleed on his beak before being earing GREAT STUFF
Even huge predatory insects and arachnids like mantis, spiders, centipede, scorpion, waterbug, etc eat mammals, birds and reptiles. Nothing great in it. And it's surprising you didn't knew birds eat mammals. Eagle eating mice and rabbits is known by everyone.
@@brodricksheffield it has to do with the hornbill strategy: no matter how stupid of a hornbill could be, the chances are still is gonna get full belly every single day because the volume of chances is waaaay beyond failure. The eagle is just that mf hot popular dude that on top of that is goddamn good at math as well, born perfect basically; hornbill doesn't try that much, just enough to still making as much success as an eagle :)
I was thinking about the first humans and how easy we would have been to catch, kill and eaten. Here we are a few hundred thousand years later enjoying watching other mammals being caught and eaten on a movie. We've come a long way.
Would have never thought they'd eat bats!! I thought they only ate fruits and nuts. You learn something new every day Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Where are you from i like come in your country
👌🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🙋🏾♀️
@@afridi0182 thanks
I love how the hornbill was like “yeah…I could do that too” then got frustrated and decided to just sit down and hunt 😂😂😂
Everyone's cocky friend :P
In fairness if you strapped a big rock to to top of that hawks head and cut off it’s talons it might do the same lol. Work smarter not harder, no?
No it was a female, she saw the catch, and knew she’s entitled to it.
Gotta love the narratives they give to spice up otherwise uninteresting and perfectly natural animal behavior… such as the bird just flying.
Me too. The first thing I thought when watching that was "I love how hornbill was like 'sure'". I didn't think 'yeah'. You are my spirit animal and your body is a wonderland

Amazing videography. All videos give lot of knowledge about nature. Thanks BBC👍
It's always fun to watch predatory birds just be the dinosaurs that they are
Wow true love. He gave his catch to his partner.
I have seen far more romance in nature than in society. Many species are monogamous.

Sir David Attenborough sounds so young in this video!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe abit too young..
He transitioned, now goes by Queen Elizabeth 'of Eden's Garden' Attenborough I. That was her talking
All I hear is Bellatrix Lestrange.
And feminine 😅
BBC Earth, the best nature videos ever!!!
U crazy as hell PBS NATURE
Really gives the feel of a dino. Seeing the hornbill in the air after the bats. Loved it!
It really does
Oh, so mine isn't the only mind to think "dinosaur" when I saw the bird. 😀
Genuinely cares for his partner. A beautiful gesture lacking in many human couples these days.
Too true
Many birds naturally mate for life. Humans aren't monogamous by nature.
wow this is amazing I didnt know these birds did this. Truly amazing to see

Same here ! I have to go to Wikipedia as well.

Amazing, but ultimately useless.
Nature never fails to amaze me. ☺️ So many secrets left to be uncovered. So many stories yet to be told.
i find it so sweet the male spends the effort to give to his mate. lovely gesture.
Thank you enjoyed this. Hornbills look amazing and like a few others commenting, I like how he gave his first catch to his partner.
@2:54 the black colored portion of its bill looks like a distinguished gentleman's moustache lol
These hawk eagles look exactly like a velociraptor with longer tail/arm feathers and a beak and I cant deal with it
That's because birds are descendant of bipedal dinosaur (or more appropriately, birds are the only surviving dinosaurs and are particularly close to raptors).
@@eurynomei3753 I know, that's why I absolutely love when they look like Dinosaurs in my opinion even chickens (mainly Roosters) are just tiny velociraptors who actually use their claws/legs to attack things just like raptors
Arm feathers? I think they’re called wings.
It reminds me of the chopsticks scene with the fly from Karate Kid.
Do tell us the scene of the film because we are not all into pop culture? 🤓

The different coloration of their feather on their wings reminded me of Ho-Oh. Especially when they fly.

Hornbills are awesome.
I would rather sit and be served than fly around chasing my meal too. Impressive video by the way.
These things look super prehistoric. Very unique looking birdies for sure.
They just reduced their cuteness factor by half, eating bats.
I know Im thinking this bird eats fruit and nuts. But live bats. Blech
They were never cute though.
They don't know about your standards nor do they have a concept of cute
Just amazed to see the hornbill snap out and catch a bat so precisely!
And then to see its blood-stained beak ...!
Thank you, BBC!
Awesome wonderful nature!
Hey, thanks for taking a video for us.
Hats off🎩
Dinosaurs don’t seem to have really died off. Just evolved. 🦖
Salute to the photographer 👏
Oriental pied has the most diverse diet. Why are we not surprised. 😂

What a Catch.... I knew Hornbill only ate fruit....
This is cool. I thought they ate fruit and plants 🌱
I know right!! We've both learnt something new 🙌🏽 I've always seen videos of hornbills eating berries. 😮 There's 54 species of hornbills 😮

Deers will eat squirrels if given the chance…
I thought they ate fruit flies.
So they are omnivores?
