The flying side kick is surprisingly accurate, as modern giant flightless birds, like the cassowary, have been filmed doing the same maneuver for self-defense.
well i think it depends on how hungry that bird was. If it ate recently it might give it up, but if it was starving it might fight. lions hunt giraffes when starving.
True. And since I do believe they where strong enough to kill saber tooth cats and wolves then I wouldn't find it surprising that most of the time these animals would try to avoid eachother.
@@unknownuser8454 actually it would most likely be the bear. These wolves are tiny compared to the bird and this bird is deadly, far more than a deadly yet vulnerable beast (plus do you have any idea how difficult an adult giraffe is to take down, quite tough). Quick and has the intimidation advantage. The moment a wolf dies, the rest of the pack will either bugger off or let the bird finish its meal and then savage.
I'm a little confused by something - the bird takes out that wolf with a single kick.... and therefore loses the food? Wouldn't the other wolves be freaking out at that point, seeing how quickly this bird can take them out? It just seems odd.
Yeah, a wolf's brain wasn't that evolved back then. Therefore, not able to solve simple cognitive problems, but they still had the capability to strategize with pack mates
You also have to account for how hungry they were at the time and you’ll do and try anything when you’re a starving predator. Look at the poor polar bears now. I saw a video of around 30 or more polar bears, which a solitary animals and don’t gather, all together eating anything and everything they could from a town’s dumping/garbage disposal site. It’s a tough life here on this planet and always has been that’s for sure.
Really, do you still have the paper or whatever source you used for this. Personally I think at most they mobbed large prey items that needed the assist to take down, not really red tail hawk but more croc if you catch my drift.
The storytellers felt like it's a more exciting story to have a dumb wolf jump in and die. Predators don't usually fight each others, if outnumbered, walk away.
@@jeffmanalang1789 yes. But normally hyenas come in 20-40 members in a pack. A lion would be actually traped and would try to run away. But in this video, you can see only about 5 wolves. The terror bird was big, so it wouldn't be trapped like a lion would. Not a good comparison.
Umh, titanis was more like a grizzly to these wolves than a lion to hyenas, and again numbers. These wolves aren’t very threatening to the titanis as seen in this scene ironically. No wolf will want to die to that kick so they would probably let the bird eat in piece and take the kill once it leaves (similar to how other predators do especially scavengers when hungry/not in danger from a large carnivore) just wait. But yeah, probably wouldn’t need to death.
@@Rey1_A trex is related but not an ancestor to terror birds. Birds are one of the oldest dinosaur ckades dating to the jurrasic. Those are the ancestors of terror birds. Trex evolved in the late cretaceous way after birds and mammals. Trex didn't make it through the kt extinction
This reminds me of a really cool book by Piers Anthony. It's called "Orn" from the "Of Man and Manta" series. The main character is a bird-like creature very similar to the Terror Bird, and the story follows it on a journey through the Paleocene. It sounds weird, but it's one of the coolest things I've ever read.
Terror birds mostly eat anything sabertooths/deers/wolves/turtles. And more This bird was an apex predator Edit:i forgot to say they were 10 feet talll
@@rainitaouwu Mammalian cooperative behavior essentially. A 10 foot tall terror bird is impressive...but several lions or many wolves together will injure it badly even if some die...In nature injuries get infected, they slow you down...and eventually kill you before your natural time. Basically it lost because it was solitary and it's competition was all pack hunters.
@@einzelfeuer_2855 not really because of that. Just because it faced pack hunters didn’t mean it was competed to extinct it was in a sense a specialised apex predator, climate shifted and it had a hard time at adapting while the more generalist predators/ ones that have more consistent food sources than titanis, That is like saying bears are extinct/endanger of extinction in North America just because of pack hunters. Especially grizzlies. Both Titanis and Grizzlies are native to their habitat and are adapted to it and they had to deal with pack hunters, yet grizzlies do fine and titanis would have as well, in fact it did existing for 3 millions years with these competitors until climate change and other factors we can’t know for sure killed them off, and remember there were North American vesions of the terror birds before and after the continents joined meaning that there is at the very least a possibility for titanis to take these niches which we know existed for predatory ground birds And what you said applies for the wolves, no wolf wants to risk death at the hands of a grizzly, same here. This is why grizzlies take the kills of grey wolves all the time (now take smaller wolves and sabertooth cats) and a massive apex predator bird in comparison, and it is easy to see why titanis was successful. And the pack hunting wasn’t new behaviour. It was one titanis had adapted to deal with.
Haven't you ever heard of Ostriches, or Emus, they, much like this Terror Bird, have massive muscle in their thighs, which provide enough force for their massive legs to be deadly.
Not necessarily. Other predators go up against wolves and even though they are outnumbered, they prevail. For instance, a wolverine will not hesitate stealing prey from a pack of wolves and I don't think that wolves would dare try to steal food from a cougar. What's more eagles have been known to hunt wolves, so if a little eagle can kill a wolf, perhaps one of those terror birds can go up against a few wolves.
To be fair, wolves did manage to kill bears. However, this was due to the protection of offspring, not competition for prey. So yes, this particular scenario doesn't make sense.
B b b bird bird bird. Bird bird bird. B b b bird bird bird. Bird bird bird. Everybody knows that the bird is the word. B b b bird bird bird. Bird bird bird.
If modern wolves can't handle black bears, then I for one think it is immensely insulting to say there smaller cousins could wipe out an entire race of terror birds. Wolves are ridiculously over glorified. Even in a pack they are not a very potent force. They are the last thing that could wipe out the terror birds
Clinical death (cardiac arrest) precedes death. It's not actually death as you say it is. Some people survive cardiac arrest, but that number is less than 1 in 20 people.
Birds ARE an evolved type of dinosaur, and the only type to survive the K-T extinction, but because they're so different from the more "popular" types like T-Rex, and because we've known them before we knew of dinosaurs, we don't really consider them to be. But they are. Wiki "Archaeopteryx"
It's thought the seriemas of South America might be related to them. Sabertooth cats were a side branch of the cat family, modern cats are related to but not directly descended from them.
Ultimately, the kick was irrelevant. The wolves still won. Someone wrote that a canine's idea of a fair fight was "we outnumber you, so we shred you to pieces". That bird wouldn't have lasted for long. Imagine if it went against the larger gray wolves.
The behavior can be worked out by the inside of the skull and what parts of the brain would be developed also by the behaviors that species related to this would do

Titanis is not the only terror Bird there was one in north America called Phorurhacus that was even taller about 10 foot and also Gastornis(Diatryma) and Kollenken not sure I spelt the last one right. There's others aswell.
Phorusrhacos and Kelenken were both from South America. Gastornis was indeed from North America, I thought it was smaller than Titanis but I guess not.
TItanis: Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming towards me? Wolf: I can't beat the sh!! out of you without getting closer Titanis: Oh, then come as close as you'd like.
