00:00 Caracals are fierce felines and famously characterized by their long ears.

00:06 This one was sneaking up on a flock of birds during a breeding ritual.

00:11 The hairs between his foot pads allowed him to advance stealthily towards his victim,

00:16 giving him the element of surprise.

00:19 His aim was locked on one specific weaver, and so the hunt began.

00:26 In addition to his fine-tuned senses and sharp tactics, the caracal's build gave him an extraordinary

00:32 agility and speed when he launched his attack.

00:36 Surprised, the flock tried to fly out of the predator's reach.

00:43 The feline was ready to pursue the flying bird, counting on the muscles of his powerful

00:47 legs to attack the prey like a surface-to-air missile.

00:58 Using his front paws, he pointed his claws to the flying bird and slapped him in the

01:02 air, causing him severe injuries.

01:06 The bird fell into the ground and took off once again.

01:11 The caracal's resolve did not diminish until he finally captured the bird in the air.

01:24 That was an acrobatic execution and an astonishing effort.

01:31 Baboons also crave the bird's meat, like this one adult that stormed a stand of flamingos

01:36 on the shores of a lake.

02:01 The panic spread among the flamingos, and the hungry baboon kept chasing one of them,

02:11 until he grabbed his leg while flying, causing him to drop on the ground.

02:16 The baboon succeeded to snatch a meal from the sky, and that was extreme.

02:22 Flamingo's meat seemed to be one of the special dishes that many predators favor.

02:27 Baboons also crave it, and this ferocious cat has landed on a big-sized flamingo.

02:34 Using his jaw muscles and sharp canines, he carries the body of his prey before feasting

02:39 on it.

02:40 No need to know how he caught it.

02:44 We know all about it.
