Goliath Heron vs African Fish Eagle

- Battle of Titans! This is a great video clip showing the epic battle that happens on a daily bases between the Goliath Heron (the worlds largest heron which stands at about 4.5 ft (1.4 m) and has a wingspan of at least 7 ft (2 m) and the African Fish Eagle. The Goliath Heron is an excellent fisherman and the African Fish Eagle knows it. Once the Goliath Heron catches a fish it is vulnerable, and the African Fish Eagle swoops in to haze the heron which forces it to drop the fish. That's the eagles opportunity to snag the fish, but at high risk. If the eagle miscalculates it could be fatal to the eagle as the heron's dagger like beak could easily kill the eagle with one well placed thrust! Filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa!

Thank you for not using horrible music! Great vid.
agreed love hearing just nature
Whenever you hear a horrible music as a BGM for wild life video (except may be BBC or Nat Geo), you know they are not genuine videos, just mash ups!!
this heron seems very stupid, he's got to be related to tucker Carlson!!!!
Agreed.. beautiful natural sound of nature.
Agreed 💯👌
I thought it tripped into the water at 0:03 lmao
Lmao wtf
2:05 Eagle said "Bro Whats really Good😣"
Great job
3:45 he's saying "I got your fish"
Wow, never imagine the eagle could have some fear against the heron
yeah herons are no joke, that beak is like a spear and goliath herons are the largest of all the herons
That's not the case in North America, when bald eagles face off against great blue herons. Bald eagles frequently prey upon great blue herons and when they're not doing that, they will go into the herons nest and eat their eggs right in front of them. All of their squawking and bluff attacks on the eagle do not deter it. It just ignores them and keeps right on eating their eggs. Videos of this as well as bald eagles preying on great blue herons can be seen on RUclips.
Eagle swoops down
Goliath bird: OMG not another one of your fishing tips
Eagle: the trick is...
Goliath bird: dude!!! I just said I don’t want to here it!
Edit:
Eagle: 3:03 bwahaha 😈 😂

Ermoso video😍😍😍😍
He is not hungry he is playing 😂😂
smart, careful and fast
1:27 it dropped the fish and the eagle was laughing at it
Lololol
Lol that's what I was thinking
Human beings always think like this..
Suryakanth Guggare lol what are you? are you not a human?
🤣🤣🤣
A heron must have one of the best kill ratios in in the wild.Very impressive.
He eats 10 kg of fish/day
My pond can testify to that🤬
@@mr.puddintater1805Nice
I had an encounter with one back in 2020 on the beach.
Indeed. In the span of this short video alone it caught atleast 3 fish
Wow! That last image of the heron spreading its wings and being reflected in the water. Beautiful.
The Goliath Heron is truly a monster of a bird. You don't really realise how big it is in the video, but it's the biggest heron in the world and dwarfs other species of herons who are pretty big birds in their own respect.
I found one at the beach. It was so chill.
@@OmegaRedFanisn't it in Africa alone
The great blue heron can be almost as large. I saw one about 4 1/2 feet the other day.
@@OmegaRedFan So Lovely
@@Swahili14they can be found in south asia as well
6 min of nature better than the best Hollywood production
same thinking bro
Yes
😀👍very true- wrote my comment before reading yours, I hadn't mentioned Hollywood, if I had read it.- but it's just too right, what you write.
True
Agreed.
Love how the heron chased off the eagle then majestically displayed its wings in triumph 😉
Actually... It was drying it´s wings. But of course, the Heron looks majestic!
@@juanse985 Probably both
@@Mach1Airspace I hope so. There was another eagle over the branches, looking ashamed the defeat of it's couple 😁
That's not what happened. It was shedding heat in the midday sun, and opening wings is one way to cool off.
@@EyeSeeThruYou Nah! Too boring!
This heron caught 4 fish and I haven't seen him eat one yet.
She just want to show African Fish Eagle that she is pro..
@@lbylab602 okay that's good enough for me. 😀
He just wanted to make the fish late for something.
probably did when eagle is far away, and it is a very smart move. Heron has its beak for a weapon, if it starts eating it can't fight back and eagle can easily kill it. This is why it was dropping the fish the moment eagle got too close.
@@DuneDemon8 Exactly!
These two rivals compliment each other BEAUTIFULLY!!! They seem to be evenly matched in the physical aspect as well as aesthetically. Both of these birds are among my top 87 favorite species. Exquisite.
how do you keep a list of top 87 species all in order? i can barely choose my favourite animal, let alone a list!
What a random number.
@@joshuazucca9277 Exactly!
@Charming Chowder Linens and bedding has NOTHING to do with this!
@Todd Bennett … The heron stalled at No. 96 for me. Such a shame, since people wait on pins & needles for my Annual Top 93 Birds List and so many have been pulling for the heron to enter the charts. Oh well, there’s always next year.
Eagle was laughing at the heron for losing the fish but the heron doesn't much care because he just catches another one... they don't seem to be good neighbors though 😂
I was kinda thinking that about the eagle laughing. Then he taunted him by catching a fish and not loosing it. Lol. Then tried to steal the herons fish because it couldn't keep ahold of it. Probably a juvenile heron.
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 It's an adult.
nope it drop the fish because it saw the eagle coming
San Jose you can tell who has higher intelligence lol 😂 by watching this video
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 An eagle would destroy a heron without trying. Herons have no way to deal with talons of raptors. Significantly smaller raptors like a much smaller hawk take the food of herons all the time.
This is a fascinating video, that Heron has to be very frustrated after missing several fish and then have that Eagle come in and attempt to steal the fish he caught. Rare footage indeed to see the interaction of these two fishing so close together,really enjoyed watching.
Thank you!
It looks like the her on is just showing off. He makes no attempt to eat them
They don’t fish for fun. Stalking fish and attempting to grab them has to take a lot of energy for a bird that size. And a heron actually isn’t very big. They fish to eat.
@@billyg.2677 It didn't want to have a full bill in case the eagle attacked it. That bill's like a fucking spear, but without it, it's virtually defenseless.
Can't wait to see the shitt!er crap-authored $2.5mil version of this which 16-25yo's will worship
as an original. (rolleyes)... We are doomed.
5:52 "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!"
"is there noone else !?"
ğjj
Lol gladiator
LOL
Haha knew there would be a comment of this.
The Eagles laughing at him makes the video even funnier.
Hahaha.. darn thats true. Eagle have sense of humor.
Nope. He is the one who scares the eagles away.
Thought I was tripping 😂😂😂
Must rank as one of the most beautiful nature cries in the world. Can see why it’s the bird call of Africa.
The heron is dropping the fish on purpose to tease the eagle into coming in so he can stab it for laughing at him
hahaha
If you side with the heron you are a massive loser.
Lol 😂
@@elonmust7470 the heron is epic
@@tobilikebacon The heron is a clumsy trash bird.
Let's face it, we're all heron addicts
Haha!
@@bradsworldreptiles yeah minus the Narcan
You missed the letter 'I' 😁
Masterpiece 🤣
😂
At 1:35 it's almost as if the Eagle is laughing at the Heron for dropping it's fish lol
Beautiful footage ! Thank you for sharing such great nature moments :)
Your welcome!
@@bradsworldreptiles I hate to correct your grammar but.
You're*
@@bradsworldreptiles you're
The Heron is practicing catch-and-release rules? What a good citizen.
Agreed. Herons are awesome
nobody likes you dude
@@h.a.6790
So get lost You don't like herons. Fine
@ DJ BenjE True dat.
Nope... He just show off Skill front Eagle..,like this ..
Eagle : uu yeahh..i got your Fish...now you hungry today...wakwakwakk
Heron : Really,,, that just nothin, i can catch easy like this ..,Fish just for my Desert... I can eat you
5:28 “if u don’t get tf outta here”😂😂
He was so done with that eagle's shit lol
☠
Love this. Herons are such beautiful birds, and when they take off and fly it is very majestic. I often see them with fish in their mouths at the same spot in the stream. Once saw a giant blue heron at a river fly into a large flock of geese, and the geese went crazy even though they outnumbered it fifty or more to one, and they just scattered and flew away as it appeared they were scared of it.
I saw a great blue take off from the pond yesterday. Never seen one at that pond before. It was like watching an airplane take off
Because the heron eat the baby geese.
@@sharksport01 They eat anything that they can swallow!
@@mehboobkm3728
Bastards.
1:30 Eagle being petty and laughing at the heron losing his fish
2:26 Eagle being petty and showing off a fish that he caught to rub it in the heron's face
Yes, thanks for a great video of nature doing its thing. And thanks for not overshadowing the natural sounds with recorded music. We all need to be more connected to the earth and what's happening around us.
At the end... "Who else want Some of This..?"
Then gets shot by a hunter🤣
the eagle don't want none of that heron spear.
Facts
You bet your sweet nipples he don't.
nordhorny Oh bravo you spotted a double negative. Pathetic
@zachary rowland I was criticizing the very thing that you are criticizing me for, idiot. Read the thread again, halfwit.
@nordhorny what an outstanding move!
Wow that heron is huge and absolutely majestic , great video thank you
Interesting to see the heron drying its wings just like a vulture would.
I had rewind that scene 3 times....interesting😂😂
3:42
Eagle: Hey, can I have one of your tator tots?
Heron: No way, get your own tator tots!!!
Makes my glad I can just go to the freezer and get me some fish sticks.
Yeah but are they fresh
The eagle did give him plenty of opportunities to eat in peace, but he was playing with his food.
That Goliath Heron is FORMIDABLE. It literally has a STILETTO for a FACE! WTF! LOL
2:07 "It's over Anakin! I have the high ground".
Anyone else get anxiety with how slow the shutter was clicking when all the action was happening? That was like 2fps.
beautiful video Brad. It needs great patience. thanks for sharing with us.
Your welcome!
The bird: Ready for round 2?
Eagle: Take it easy bro it's a prank.
The bird: f**k off.
1:35
Heron : "Holy Shiiitt...I lost my fish".
Eagle : "Ha..ha..haa.. ".
Wow so fascinating, heron finally realized it had to beat up that eagle first to have its meal peacefully.
Hippos were like 4:25 'What's the commotion over there....you're disturbing our siesta!'
6:00
"Come at me, bruh..."
3:38 that fish got some skills.
Awesome. Unseen The eagle shy away from the heron !!! Wow
heron was preying on the eagle, the fish is just a bait for the eagle to come down and get in range.
Exactly... the Heron was doing that, why he would turn his back ... he wanted to catch the eagle. Eagle stood back
vlepo2000 no, heron is just a stupid bird, the eagle is way too smart for that heron
He was definitely trying to lure the thing in to give it a good schooling.
you can't be serious
Surprised they are so brave when it comes to fighting off an Eagle. Herons, egrets, and the like are the most cowardly birds I've ever come across, not letting me get within 50 feet of them when I'm standing on the shore and they're out in the water!
Yes herons do hate the presence of humans I've noticed. Maybe it is because they believe their fishing spot is now compromised, and they go off in search of another. They always let out a big "honk" in disapproval as they fly away, too.
Those beaks, together with the spring like tension in their necks turn their heads into actual spears. They can inflict some serious puncture wounds to another bird!
"Haha you dropped the fish!" Eagle to Heron
Разве это орёл? Вы наверное не видели настоящего орла, например кыргызкий "Беркут" ему не страшны даже волки, а тут какого-то цаплю боится. 🤣🤣🤣
btw, the heron has a cool hairstyle---I mean feather - style! LOL
I didn’t know that the heron use fish to trap eagle and stab eagles with its beak..
The heron reminds me of some tall redhead youngster with a grey suit that enters the corporate setting only to get tormented by his coworker there with a history of 10 years in the company. Every time he closes a deal, catch the fish, he doesn't get credit for it.
Creative.
Wough.
The heron was feeding the eagle 🤣

The Goliath Heron was just teasing the African fish eagle by catching and dropping the fish. The Heron did this to piss off the Eagle so that the Eagle can get closer for a fight.
That heron is a clutz
That heron is like me trying to eat things with chop sticks! :{)
That thing it's it's beak there not chopsticks
I call this eagle ''african bald eagle''
Why?
@@ryanwaugh1 ဝ
Looks like the eagle was laughing when the heron lost the fish!
Animals can't laugh or have a sense of humor
@@davidandrew6347 *Looks* like it was laughing. *LOOKS*
Heron with beautiful colours ! Eagles are bad neighbours; no manners. Majestic my ass
The Heron represents the hard working middle class, the Eagle represents the......
You finish the sentence 😊
Looters in Minneapolis
Something is wrong with this Heron. May be he is high.
Heron is sad!!!!
This area is so beautiful, I could spend weeks watching and photographing all the wildlife in the area. This is what I perceive a rich documentary to offer and you can go to these areas and see it first-hand. The wondrous beauty of pure nature.
Absolutely!!
Soko tenyo
Great film content,i wish had been there,very nice great entertainment.
Thank you!
Eagle : *steal the fish*
Heron : *Who cares ?*
*heron catches another fish easily*
That heron was like, "Mothuh fuckah, I DARE YOU to come fuck wit' my shit. I'ma put it right her on the ground and turn my back. Don't get fucked up." lol HERON: 1 / EAGLE: 0
1:35 is the best part..
Eagle is trying to showoff.
Good video! Heron is a badass bird and even an eagle has respect for it.
The eagle will kill the heron as soon as it gets hungry enough...
You fucking moron.
@@elonmust7470
Did I offended you in any way? Or did you just have a really bad day?
@@patricj951 people who like these birds are idiots... So yeah, you have mildly offended me.
2:29 "Found your fish for you Mrs Heron! Bye then..."
I’m thinking of petting these birds and we will go fishing and I’ll let them do the job while I’m roasting a fish on the sea side 😂😂😂
So now the eagle has fish and the heron has egg on its face.
At the end the heron was basking in the glory of victory
Great
So....did the heron ever get to eat any of its catches? Poor fish, they get overlooked and forgotten in the other drama.
what gorgeous birds. hope the heron finally ate something
Fuck that pos
I'm surprised at how aggressive the Heron is towards the Eagle and how well that aggression works against the Eagle....
Contrary to popular belife eagles dont fare good in fights with other predator birds. vultures steal their kills all the time they are oly effective against their respective prey
3:09 OMG, that big ass bird barely flapped it's wings 4 times to fly to the other side of the lake. Looked like magic.
Wow, this was amazing! I love to just see and hear what is going on with no narration or dramatic music. Reminds me of Wild America. I miss the old nature shows.
The eagle was disrespectful showing the heron up like that
I don’t understand how they hunt knowing there are crocodiles in the water
Wow eagle won't take a chance to fight with heron
Eagle knows the power of heron peak and not taking any risk
Goliath Heron's are like their smaller Great Blue Heron cousins. They are not just expert fish killers with their dagger like beaks. But they will not hesitate too eat just about anything they can fit down their throats...!!! I've been in the avian field now for the better part of 30yrs. And have worked "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And i've witnessed herons eating everything from; small ducks, rabbits, water rats, and other mammalian prey. Sea Eagles obviously have the advantage of their talons but they also respect larger herons because they know what their beaks are capable of inflicting.
Damnnn, eagles are such thugs.
Great shots!
Thank you
That Spartan spear on heron is no joke and eagle knows
Not today Mr. Eagle not today...
The Eagle's patience paid off,it must know his nighbor drops fish frequently! The Heron isnt appreciating his unwelcome guest for dinner,Love the sounds of nature !🙂♥️
5:55 "what have I done huh? Why you have to always steal my fish?"
3:41 Heron: Get the hell out from there you stealer !
That was definitely a yell 😂
Herons are not to be messed with they could deal much more damage in one hit then the eagle
