Escaping an Eagle Attack | National Geographic

this is the water chevre tain an ancient
mammal species that’s related to
antelopes pigs deer and even bison it’s
closer to the size of a Jack Russell
Terrier though it lives in the
rainforests of Western and Central
Africa the show routine has been dining
on flowers fruit and fungi for over 20
million years all that time both
predator and prey have evolved this
crown eagle into one of the most
powerful birds of prey and the water
chevre tain into a master Oh hide and
seek with numerous skills to help it
cheat death even though the crowned
eagle is actually smaller than the
chevre tame it has exceptionally strong
feet and legs it eyeballs the chevre
tape
it swoops in for the kill
and so the chevre tain hits the water
the Eagle knows this boy its next move
is to watch the water and wait for the
chevre tain to come up for air to
survive the chevre tain has made a
second home for itself underwater it can
walk on the bottom like a little hippo
it’s crunches down to avoid being lifted
by the flow the way the game is evolved
the most persistent player wins the
Eagle waits the chevre tain stays down
it can stay underwater for about four
minutes the Eagle waits while like a
submarine the chevre tain surfaces
unnoticed taking in air and a little
reconnaissance the Eagle wait Samar
the chevre tain surfaces Eagle pounces
dad whoops yeah yeah sorry
it’s a submerged rock so much for the
phrase Eagle Eye
[Music]
the Eagle seems baffled how could this
happen the ship retain wins this round
of the battle hey it’s a battle that’s
been going on for millions of years who
knows how it will further wall
