- Not many people can say they have seen a secretary bird and jackal in a stand-off. This was the moment a secretary bird harasses a jackal, whilst both try to intimidate the other - but who is the actual aggressor?

This amazing sighting was tinged near the Kij Kij waterhole in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Steve and Bee tell LatestSightings.com about this unforgettable moment:
"We were driving back towards Twee Rivieren Rest camp. The car in front of us had stopped and we could see gemsbok (oryx antelope) and wildebeest lying down. As we drove closer we could see the jackal and the secretary bird standing facing each other. We stopped the car and I immediately started taking pictures."
Secretary bird harassing jackal
"The jackal seemed to be attacking the bird at first. Lunging with its mouth open, not managing to land any bites though! It then became clear that the secretary bird was in fact the aggressor. The jackal was just defending itself."
"It wouldn’t let the jackal move in any direction, blocking every attempt the jackal made to move away. Circling around the jackal and jumping over it and kicking out at its back."
"At one point the secretary bird landed a thumping blow to the jackal's head. The jackal backed right down and managed to make his escape towards the back of our car. The secretary bird stood and watched. Seemingly satisfied with its victory. Turned and went back to foraging."
"I have never seen anything like this and probably won’t again in my lifetime. It was our first trip to the Kgalagadi and it has been a magical experience. I can’t wait to come back!"

That's how secretaries are when you walk in without an appointment.
🤣

COMMENT OF THE YEAR
dammit you got there before me
It's always amazed me that secretary birds have garnered so little attention in YT compared to other species.
Theyre too fabulous
I'm guessing the bird has a nest nearby that it's trying to protect
secretary birds can fly and build nests on trees. only leopards, monkeys, snakes, and other birds would bother their nests.
@@plantahari really, you mean they can fly with such a big body? 🙄
@@ogbeideemmanuel4254 secretary birds are raptors and very good fliers. they like to hunt on ground by stomping their prey, but they can fly very well to escape predators. when in doubt, use google!
@@ogbeideemmanuel4254 that's not a big body. A big body would be your m.. Moa bird
That's what i figured...
Bird looks like a RPG monster in an open grassland area beginning of the game lv. 6
@Dan Geth Haha Gamers know
Nerds!!
Whoa! Secretary bird Vs Jackal. I have never seen a match like this before. What an amazing moment in nature you have captured!
That bird was trolling the jackal. 😑
"No, I can't let you in unless you have an appointment!"
that is a tall bird compared to the jackal. I have seen a jackal many times, but not the bird, I am amazed how tall is that beautiful creature
They have talons like an eagle and a nasty kick, they're technically long legged semi terrestrial birds of prey.
Jackals are very small in size.
@@BigBrotherTheWatcher1984 bigger than a fox but smaller than a coyote
@@Predation_records
Golden Jackals are domewhat similar to Coyotes in size. These African Jacksls are small.
The Jackal was like WTF is wrong with u
It was trying to ask the Jackal if he wanted the extra car warranty..
😂
😂
Wildebeest: First time that I am the mightiest and calmest animal in a fight vid. What a day!
Secretarybird: I just bought this new fresh squirrel deodorant it's amazing! Give it a smell!
Jackal: No.. get away from me you weirdo
Secretary: Tag you’re it! Now get me fast buddy or I win! Jackal: I’m not playing.
Perhaps she has her eggs somewhere nearby and she fears he might eat them
That’s what you get when you have no appointment and just walked in🤣
I'm not sure if the title is right this time. It looks like the bird was in defensive mode from the jackal trying to get a grip on it.
i agree. jackals are sneaky and flying birds have fragile bodies, even raptors like the secretary bird. the jackal was trying to get the secretary bird to drop its guard for a moment so it would instantly go for the neck or head. there's a video of a jackal easily dragging a large stork from a water body.
The secretary bird could just fly away if this was true.
It was not injured and they can fly… the bird was deliberately intimidating or annoying the jackal for some reason
@@jamesbaxter222 Good point .....but it still seems a case of who was harassing who ......they seemed equal opponents.
@@jamesbaxter222 jackals are very sneaky. secretary birds can't just launch themselves into air like a little sparrow. they need to let their guard down to flap their wings and create updraft to take off. all of this can take 2-4 seconds and that's enough for the coy acting jackal to turn on the offense and pounce on the bird. once the jackal takes a bite, the bird is done. the secretary bird knows this and hence keeps itself facing the jackal and making itself appear big.
WHAT A BIRD!!! ❤️ 😍 💖
I love how the Secretary bird walks
The bird is trying to protect its eggs probably.
i doubt it, secretary birds usually nest on top of trees where jackals cant get to them
@@duder7396 then the bird's moves do not make sense. It is risking its own life by getting near the jackal.
@@Riddlespuzzles knowing jackals i assume it's trying to defend a kill
@@Riddlespuzzles secretary has very quick reflexes, they’re birds of prey and hunt snakes which are quite fast, it knows jackals are too slow to catch its legs and in the video you can see how cautious it is while circling around
@@sergioibarra3461 what is the reason for encircling
Is the bird protecting her eggs/chicks?
That's what I thought
That would be my guess as well.
That's the strange thing. They nest in trees, so it couldn't be a nest. Maybe a newly fledged chick or a food source?
Looks like they playing, birds are very aggressive and attacks relentlessly when protecting their eggs.
@@claytonbigsby9673 true, but this behavior with these birds is typically only shown romantically or when hunting.
Secretary birds are scary tall and just terrifying in genral.
Ah yes, the stilt eagle that's been showing sneks whose boss for millions of years, and who decides to kick the ass of the local dogs...
That's our South African national bird you all
Really? That’s so pretty 😍 Thanks for the info.
Don't walk away from me, I'm not done talking to you!
Secretary birds are tougher than they look. They're built to stomp out snakes and have fast reflexes. One kick could badly injure the jackal.
That jackal better give up
Protect eggs or nest ✔✅
Harasses a jakal ❎❌
Top marks for your succinctness.
That jump tho
what the hell? That bird looks like a creature with 7 horns described in the book of revelations.
That creature in the book of revelations, has decedents and his offspring manifest as animals, it's mentioned in some other religion's too. Have good day, you are awake indeed. Blessings 🙌 to you.
What is that?
There are many many weird looking animals. Secretary bird is the least of them lol. It gets its name because when they are calm, the feathers fall back and look like pencils in a secretary's ear. Though when the bird is excited or threatened, they fan out to give snakes false targets to strike at. Oh yeah, and these birds hunt snakes. They stomp them to death.
It's basically an office receptionist from the 1960s. It's more of a bookkeeper than a creature from the Book of Revelations.
Yeah? And Behemoth is a bush elephant, and Leviathan is a Nile crocodile. It isn’t surprising.
That's how Roadrunner cartoon was inspired.
If I had to be a creature in Africa, I would want to be a secretary bird.
the bird looks scared of jackal , not the other way round.
Secretary birds are amazing 💯
Those birds looks demonic
@@jrsmith1998 If you think that take a look at a Harpy Eagle or Andean Condor.
@@spotemgotement.reloaded389 will do
@@spotemgotement.reloaded389 The secretary birds are good at multitasking and being productive.
I tell you, birds ain't naked. The feathers act as their clothes.
I bet the secretary is nesting towards the direction of the jackal.
Secretary bird ? First time heard of his name
Just reminded me to ask my personal secretary to print some important records for me in my office.
Shes T posing on him to assert dominance
Majestic bird!
boa tarde👍🎈
Reirei was lucky to escape and live another day after a dangerous encounter with Washimi... XD
I get that reference 😭
Secretary of Defense!
Lol..The Secretary bird is part of South Africa 🇿🇦 Coat of Arms , so it's fitting
D🤺🤺
Wow I had to look at a few times ..nice catch
Wow that bird is awesome… i want one hehe
He'd rather be security bird 🐦
the cameraman had one job to do
buy a standing pod
Wow very good 👍
Mony Penny of the jungle.
The karens of bird kind
As a Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master I've made use of many predatory bird species. The axe-beak being utilized the most. I'm going to build a giant variation of the secretary bird and send that against my poor players. I'm going to have fun!!!
The jackal looks like it's minding its own business, but given a chance that bird will be on the ground and the jackal's tail will be most pleased
🇧🇴 Fans n1 👀 bolivia saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👀👀👀👀
Wow nice shot.
Looks like nest/chick defense - "hey, look at me!"
"Come at me bro"
we want live safari video
Birds of prey have no fear XD
Provavelmente, ela está protegendo seus filhotes que devem estar por perto.
Dinosaur messes small wolf.
This is the first time seeing a secretary bird vs a jackal... of course, however, I support birds more!
Why is there a modern Deinonychus!?
Pride of his dinosaur ancestors
MORE video of Secretary Bird please.
Caelid looks different
This Secretary Bird is on South Africa's 🇿🇦 Coat Of Arms
Wait till you see boss bird
A secretary bird? Maybe it wanted the jackal to dictate a letter for a bush AGM. A good stenographer I guess.
This makes me laugh 😂😂😂
Me : when my younger sister is going to complain to our father about how i beat her …..! 😌😌
Very Annoying secretary 🤦🏾♂️
It seems the jackal is sizing the big bird up to see if it can make a meal of it. The bird is agitated and is trying to fend off a potential predator.
The cameraman from The Blair Witch was on this safari recording.
Dinosaurs always doing crazy things these days
The jackle just wanted to play with her
So this is what they do in between meals. Harass one another. Now I know.
رقصة الموت. ....أرجل رفيعة لكنها حادة وقوية
They're just playing around.
Aptly named as secretary bird ,master in harassing when see weak hapless . Dangerous as bird and in office !
El golpe de la gruya....wow
That is one intimidating bird... It should try taking on a wren.
Wanna come for a little flight? 😈
That’s new
บาทาลูบหน้า 😂😂
Spooky
Exactly. Look how satanic that bird looks.
This bird is logo of my country’s Govt🇸🇩🇸🇩
I just have curiosity where this film made ?
New friend watching saudi
Did the Jackal have an appointment?
Just walk in
Cool
That bird is so gorgeous....wow.... I will see it in person one day!
After this win she'll be the executive bird
That’s,why knees flip forward
No they’re just in a different height along the leg than ours
They stand on their toes, not their heels.
..............Who harasses who ?
God is great...Allahu Akbar...These animals are great signs by the Almighty.
😍😍😍😍
Tell them another Jackal story
-Chael Sonnen
If the Jackal didn't pull away its head when the bird kicked, it would've dropped to the ground instantly, lifeless. Secretary Birds' kick force is 195 Newtons, that's equivalent to around 20kg or 44 pounds thrown at you in less than a second. Enough to end a poor Jackal's life.
Secretaries are always like this. They think they own the place jus because they suck (up to) the boss.
It's so strange how calm the jackal is acting. It neither ran nor spent much energy chasing the secretary. It just sort of stuck around gave little nips. I bet the secretary could seriously mess that jackal up, too, considering the size difference - does anyone know why it's acting like that?
I can see the jackal is showing some typical signs of canine distress (ears pinned back, etc) but I'm not familiar with jackals so I don't know if this body language is consistent with them as well.
возможно причиной агрессии, является птенец, выпавший из гнезда?
Сложно выпасть из гнезда с земли.
@@sergeyv.voronin3053 , у секретарей гнезда на верхушках деревьев, у тебя наверно как то по другому
@@alexei933 Надо же...
Secretary Bird: ...I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and am the top sniper in the entire US armed forces...
...and I graduated from Professor X avier's School for Gidted Youngsters.
I had no idea the US Navy had started recruiting gorillas, do they train them in guerilla tactics?
😕😂
