      Bird can’t understand how he got caught.

      BUT I’M THE PREDATOR! NOT THE PREY! HOW!?

    2. That vulture’s *face* 😀 “What the… I am the harbinger of death! Dread incarnate! What the *fuck?!”*

    3. I assume it has either just fledged the nest or it gorged itself on carrion and was unable to fly.

    4. wait a kid caught a vulture?? that’s wild those birds are huge i wonder how they even managed to do that honestly impressive but also a little scary

    5. That kid’s got some serious skills catching a vulture?! Future wildlife expert in the making!

      Dreamworks movie about a vulture. Needle scratch- “You’re probably wondering how I got here.”

    7. Man, that bird could fuck that kid up.

      One day, when he’s a little wiser, he’s going to look back at this video and wonder what the hell he was thinking, and what his parents were thinking recording it instead of getting that animal, whose claws and beak are made to rend flesh from bone, away from their kid.

      Great opportunity for dad to tell him not to chase animals down and shake them out of trees.

      Detritivores are fucking lit.

      Playing in a creek as a kid and having these types of experiences with aquatic and riparian critters has led me to studying environmental science with a focus on aquatic ecology. (I brought home a little snapping turtle and wanted to keep it as a pet lol)

      I sincerely hope this kid’s unique and intimate experience will give him passion for any of the biological sciences.

    10. Fun fact: The legs of vultures are usually coated white, due to the dried uric acid of their excrement. Vultures will excrete waste onto their legs, serving two different purposes:

      In warm weather, pooping on their legs is part of their thermoregulation – it helps to cool down their body temperature.

      When vultures step into a carcass, touching possibly contaminated flesh, they risk coming into contact with bacteria. They disinfect themselves with the highly acidic uric acids by excreting onto their legs.

      Kid should wash his hands.
