- You should always stop for the little things while in the bush, because you never know where a sighting might lead! For this group, stopping for a family of warthogs lead to them watching a live kill!

Nazeem Mohammed, a 49-year-old Trade Finance Banker, tells LatestSightings.com the story:
“Early Monday morning in December 2018, we shot this scene right near Malelane Gate.
To license the footage:
Contact@LatestSightings.com
It was a quiet, uneventful drive along the S114 where I was filming Impala, Spurfowl and some elephant along the way before coming across a warthog family.
At first, just filming the warthog, it appeared to be an uneventful, run-of-the-mill drive. For some reason, I kept filming as the piglets ran from beneath one tree to the next before crossing over the road. My family and I were completely unaware of the Martial Eagle who remained hidden until the piglets crossed the road in the open.
My son was first to notice the eagle swoop in from the left, just out of shot and thankfully I maintained a steady hand and kept the piglets in focus. Only once the Eagle hooked its target did I realise just what a remarkable sighting I had just caught! Excitement naturally took over... We remained with the kill despite the many cars which stopped to investigate the sighting but who left soon after.
2 hours later, once the eagle felt comfortable enough and flew down from the nearby tree again, it secured the piglet in its talon and walked it across the S114 to a nearby bush under which it fed. At that point, given the number of cars also jockeying for position to see this, we left with an amazing memory.
This sighting is even rarer than a big cat kill, as there is very little to none easily available footage of a martial eagle kill in the Kruger Park.
This wondrous wildlife haven we call the Kruger National Park can turn the most mundane, uneventful sighting into something memorable, if one is but patient. I would advise visitors to stop and enjoy everything of interest and not just chase that elusive cat sighting... Given time, as this video proves, anything can happen at any time.
The Martial Eagle is one of the most majestic and elegant of the eagle species. Seeing one execute a successful kill after remaining so well hidden is a once in a lifetime sighting. I hope all Kruger and bird lovers enjoy this video as much as my family and I did of the sighting in person.”

That Eagle was looking around to see if the police was coming 😂
Bilal Int'l Lmao he must’ve been a Black bird....😉
@@champtouch3298 Implying niggas be looking for cops because they killed something?
Whew lad.
😂😂
The police being the parents or another predator
Don't be stupid. Eagle don't recognise police man as a
threat.
I love how eagles just sit there holding they prey, not even looking at the prey much because they know that's not the threat any more... The threat is something else while they're holding the prey...
Good point
No. It's grabbing onto the prey and stabbing it with its talons until it stops moving.

@@AsgarnianAleWe know how it got the warthog, OP was talking about why the eagle was frantically looking around.
@@thefordlord9893 probably. I suppose I should really say we don't know what the animal is really thinking in its head
Eagle is actually looking around for other predators... the saying 'eagle eye' is appropriate. They have excellent vision and are extremely alert.
hold this L idiet
I love how the Eagle just returns by casually walking over and grabs the dead piglet and walks away with it like a boss. 😂 Glad to see the theropods are still with us, as birds of prey. 🥰
Baby warthog: SOMEONE HELP ME
Eagle: Nothing to see here 👀
🤣
That's sounds like a cop and a black American
Amazing how the eagle stretches its wings like that while on the kill. Its instinctively hiding it from other predators that would want to steal it.
@@k.k8791
Injuries between cop and black american are not funny, or this video is funny. So your comment is irrelevant and you would not have to make jokes on sad realities.
@Dave Micolichek oh yeah! How is that?

I Do not get it what Funny?
This is how I feel leaving the grocery store with too many bags to carry.
This is something that you not see so often! The eagles are so impressive!
This is probably the guy who records fights at school jeez man hold it still 😂
My brain: How many more animals must die before you are willing to sleep?
Copy paste much?
Winston - You maniac! You killed me with that one! 🤣😆

My wife doesn’t get it.
No SHIT brother!! I mean, really...

Same here.
Yes, and it's horrible isn't it?

wait till ya see the faceripper croc and the zebra ;o
Rather clicking the video, click on the 3 dots on the right and select "Not Interested". If you do this 5-10 times you will be excluded from the algorithm
I like how the eagle isnt really worried about the warthog just more focused on the danger around his surroundings
Patricia Mckee yY
The way he walks with it in his claw is freakin hilarious!!!😹😹😹

Nah its all about Adidas nowadays
He killed it just with it's Talons. That's incredible skills.

well their claws are razor sharp so its not that impressive.

The guides know what they are doing by simply locating a food source and wait a couple of minutes for a memorable experience
2:34 LUL the eagle walking on the ground "just doin my evening walk, oh look, finders keepers"
The eagle coving the hog like"nothing to see here, move on now please"
Lol
So true
Yhe
@Mugwort hy
It's called mantleing which all birds of prey do instinctively to hide their prey from other predators. Of course it doesn't work as well as intended.
The way he walks with it, like toddlers walking in their dads shoes.😆
You try walking the next time you have a warthog attached to your foot... not so easy.
😂😂
What an incredibly lucky catch! For the camera I mean... the eagle made its catch look about as routine as brushing its teeth in the morning. "And now for breakfast... hmm what'll it be today?"
Eagle walks away like a boss with one foot of shoe🤣🤣🤣
Kruger Sightings never disappoints!
More of this please!
suck
Yep
The Eagle was looking around to see if the mother was going to come charging.
Not only the mother but other predators as well. Birds are always more careful when there on the ground.
He is such a king that he made cars stop until he finishes his hunt.
The cameraman had one job!
......and he screwed up
They always do on this raggedy channel.🙄😔
TBH we didn't miss anything and we saw the action
Eagle walks like me when I'm trying to get something off of the bottom of my shoe.
Nothing like watching nature with dozens of diesel SVU's right in there.
Surround Vehicles Undertakers.
If it hasn't already been stated out of the 2.9 thousand comments the eagle is a Martial eagle. Wingspan wise (up to about 8 feet) it is the largest eagle in Africa, but second in talon strength, according to most authorities, to the Crowned eagle.
The eagle was lookin around like "keep it movin, nothin to see here"
A martial eagle, I think. Remarkable bird. Beautiful plumage.
And at the end he was doing the Silly Walk.
@christian Williams pretty strong bird of prey.
@christian Williams i thought the harping eagle was the biggest bird in africa it's actually bigger than the martial
@@chalie4154 Harpies aren't in Africa, the Crowned Eagle which is similar but a little smaller is there. The Martial is bigger than the Crowned but the Crowned is known to kill larger prey. All three are bad ass.
@Ex Essex: Does it talk?
The bird is walking like he has a special shoe on
3:00 Bruh the disrespect 😂🤣
hahahahaahahaha....exactly...like killing it wasn't enough
Possibly the rarest kill video on this entire channel.
All of UA-cam... nobody has a video like this!
Indeed. The cameraman was clever to follow the piglets. The eagle was wise to cover its kill with its wings.The mother thought best to make a run for cover with the rest of her babies
Amazing how the Eagle both walked and carried the baby warthog at the same time at the end
Death will swoop down on us with the same speed and accuracy of that eagle!
That is exactly!
Truth...at any time.
3:00 "Where the hell is my other shoe"

He's rocking the new pumbas😂😂😂😂😂
That's actually pretty goddamn funny
Haha nice!
walkin across the road like...Yeah

Nice! 😎

@BARRY BONDS OUT i was thinking along the same lines..These damn things get eaten and hunted by everything including us.There long lost couisin the pig also tastes great
P
@BARRY BONDS OUT theyre way tastier than regular pork soooo even is a delicacy lol
@BARRY BONDS OUT 😂
ha ha, lol
Eagle was like...nothing to see here, just keep it movin’...
3:09 Eagle : Goddam, I gotta get me another warthog. They make great pairs of slippers.
Never seen something like this... My fav channel
That's why i love eagle, they're incredible
I’m sure this was just an eagle procuring various meats for christmas … she got her leg ham sorted as well as other various pork cuts. Great idea, plus free range and organic! Can’t beat it.
For being so small, the warthog put up a decent fight. Good job little fella.
Warthogs are tough as hell
I’m sure anything and anybody would put up a fight in a life and death situation man!!!
That's crazy how accurate they are to go straight for the head.
Great footage, thanks for sharing 😊
Everyone in the comments complaining about the shaky camera work. Who were you expecting Steven Spielberg? 🤔
For People who are saying that the camera is shaky
Pls know that what u are seeing is higly zoomed so when u shake a higly zoomed video even a cm it looks like alot but on the other hand if its not zoomed those shakes are not even felt they are not professionals nor they recorded it with a stand
You guys were so damn lucky in that precise moment when the eagle caught the baby warthog! Congratulations!🦅
I think I would have shot the eagle out of rage
Lol jk(I love warthogs but I respect nature)
@@5v311 you're crazy , man fuck these Warthogs they deserve to be eating especially by wild dogs 🐕 they stink and they're ugly and eat everything
You pay thousands of dollars to go on safari with expensive camera equipment, and you can't hold the camera still!
Money buys no skills
Dizzy lol
If you think this is expensive camera equipment you should take another look
Haha good
The Eagle is nonmuslim
I like how the Eagle keeps looking at them like " don't just stand there do something"!!!!!!!!
The shaking made me more dizzy than the baby warthog fending off the eagle attack.
Martial Eagle one of my favorites. Amazing footage!
Amazing footage! What a catch by that eagle! Always nice to somehow get footage of something rare.
The eagle has a new shoe. Needs a second though.
That eagle just got himself a
Double Big Mac Happy meal
Only those burgers are made from cows so....🤷
#weakassjoke
Do they even offer big macs w happy meals????
.....and arent big macs already "double"?
Bro you attempt at humor was an utter failure. 👎👎👎👎👎
askary garcia in my mind
askary garcia hurt my feelings. Break my spirit.
What a kill.. Hungry king of the sky. martial eagle.. The way it walked carrying that warthog by one leg was like a demon pulling a sinner to hell. Nevertheless a majestic bird used in scriptures as a symbol of valour, attitude, renewing and elegance!!! Love from Bangalore, India for the video.
Your comment rocks !!!!!!
Best comment lol 😂
Among all eagles, the martial eagle have the most scary look
"Okay dudes you've seen me catch and kill him. Stop following me now."
how dramatically she is taking that to road side 😅😅😂😂😂😂
Wow.. what a great timing... Beautiful video... Thanks for sharing 👍
OMG -- Great video! --- This camera man clearly has excellent camera skills. I don't understand why everyone else is complaining.
I hope he makes more videos *JUST LIKE THIS ONE!* ... (Oh and God bless Pumba)
Using it as a shoe is pretty gangster lol
CE literally Lol good shit
CE Eagle was like: "Yeah try to sing "Hakuna Matata" now that you are my shoe..."
Eagle was like, "Croc shoes? Nah, check out my Hog shoes! Just let me find my other one"

Brilliant capture by the Eagle; what a fantastic hunter!!!

Martial eagle: I, Martial Eagle, have a dream.

We don't have much (according to the world anyway) but I think we have everything in Africa and I feel blessed. You just have to find a remote spot and you will witness such things 365 days a yea🇿🇦🇿🇼🇿🇲🇧🇼
Yes that explains ancient African wisdom.in contrast to "intelligence" " religious dogmas" of many other areas
00:57 " Did someone say murder ?? Oh no no just thought he needed a lift. nothing to see here...." 😂🤣
Eagle was walking with the warthog like." Hey, checkout my new Pumbas."
Boomp!!
Amazing and incredibly rare footage !
Baby warthog:MOMMY!!😫

I hope you don't actually strangle your little brother. If you do please don't do that anymore. It's wrong
Who ever filmed this was going through alcohol withdrawal
Agreed..
I gotta get my fix man I need it
Hence the dislike given.
Yea, even so it’s not hard to stabilize a camera without a tripod, just while it close to your chest or rest it on a surface.

Very rare sight a martial eagle with a warthog. Amazing footage
If only Hollywood could get up to this standard of camera work I'd live at the cinema.
It's like he tries to hide it. "nothing to see here"
He did! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
xAndrzej42 it’s a natural instinct because it doesn’t wants to share its catch
Same🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Terry Melvin what does that mean? You shouldve explained it.
Eagle be like "don't mind me I'm just taking my lunch to go"
When raptors stand over their prey wings spread (mantling), it looks so badass. Like nature's executioner.
Here's a safari protip: Shut your diesel rattle trap vehicle off when viewing game, it make photos and video more steady and takes out that awful idle noise.
Can I get 100k subscribers without a single video
Also freaking distracted the raptor from her meal. These damn guys wouldn’t stop talking either!!
Obviously not a pro by any means...
@@superfly19751 these videos are amateur, that's the point. They're at the right place at the right time. Just be happy you get to see it
Not a good idea... If something comes out to attack them and the car engine isn't on then they are basically 100% fucked. Least if it is on they can take off relatively quick. Remember, this is wild territory and humans don't really belong there anymore so they have to be careful.
Be grateful the footage exists at all!
@@tomhuddleston1850 Oh wait, it's like you don't know what you're talking about. Wow, that's right you really don't know what you're talking about. So why does the FGASA NQF2 curriculum teach shutting off the vehicle for photo stability and hearing the sounds of the veld and animals?
Tom Huddleston
Ever heard of rolling up the window? You can still see all the action and yeah, record it too....
People sitting in there cars watching this is the same as aliens in UFOs watching us
But UFO's are probably better at holding cameras while filming.
No because we are not aliens to them we are a predator from the the same world while aliens are not from this world
Yep pretty much..
More like if a bunch of sharks surrounded a dude fishing in a canoe and just watched

In an blink of an eye, never saw it coming and it over. And we think it's tough. I have to tip my hat to nature at it rarest moments captured on video.
Pumba doesn't like to talk about his brother and I know why
Mama hog: Oh well, i got 6 other babies to take care of.

It's walking with warhog in it's claws like i walked when steped in mud
Or something else.

So funny how people keep commenting about holding camera straight. He is just a tourist holding a glass of beer in one hand and enjoying himself. If you want proffessional videos, go and study photography and buy your own camera, then go out and shoot your own eagle eating warthog.
agree with u. in comments section there are a lot of idiots think they are genius.
Tell it!!
The death of one, the entertainment of the other.!
GREAT sighting! Pity about the engine running...wish people would switch off!
I heard the engine sounds doesn't bother them
Midhun S the engine sounds bother the people at the sighting as it completely ruins it. Etiquette at a sighting is to turn the engine off so that you can hear all the wonderful sounds of nature.
You are funny 🤣did you even see what happened.?the BIG BIRD, HALLO, KILLING THE SMALL ANIMAL ETC.....
The engine noise would put me off ever going on a safari. If I wanted to be stuck in traffic there are places nearer home for that. Why not use electrically driven vehicles?
It will be soon 2021 the engine, the engine.Go ride on the back of the lion them ☺
