He was unbothered, literally the vulture would eat-look at bobcat-eat-look at bobcat, etc. the bobcat was likely inexperienced and got way too close way too fast and didn’t realize the vulture already knew it was there.
I'm glad that Turkey vulture escaped; I love those birds. They have the best wings in the business - fly and glide so effortlessly. When they take off, even from the ground, just a couple or so wing flaps and then they can glide for miles on end and rise in altitude without as much as a wing flap. They are simply fantastic and excellent flyers!
They're one of the most graceful soaring birds I've ever seen. There's a tall tree across the street from my house that attracts a large community of turkey vultures in the summer time and come early evening an entire congregation of them will gradually circle the tree and land there for a night's rest. It's truly breath taking to see dozens of them soaring and circling all at once to go to bed. I always stop what I'm doing to watch. Most people don't understand how important they are.
Agreed. I’m a paraglider pilot, and turkey vultures are for sure one of the most skilled soaring birds I’ve ever flown with. They have shown me to countless thermals
The coolest part of this whole video was. Seeing how completely aware the, Bobcat, was of the guy filming. The T V. was an impressive size. Easily a linebacker.
There's a turkey over there... The bobcat is sneaking up on the turkey... The turkey is eating something ... The turkey.. I mean a turkey vulture...LMAO !
This is why villagers in India wear masks of a persons face on the back of thier heads when walking or working in the fields. Tigers like to attack from behind but get confused by a face on both sides.
That TV knew exactly where it's enemy was, it kept looking to its right as if to say I know where the threat is on my left, just need to check something isn't flanking me from the right. Very cool and composed. 1
Smelled him, more likely, but yeah -- you nailed it. The vulture was just not really all that worried, cuz they actually don't have natural predators. That cat was just a young'n or was very desperate.
@@XAVargasX0206 Well, I wouldn't go that far. "Opportunities" are often imagined more than actual, and an experienced bobcat wouldn't consider eating a toxic meal like a vulture an "opportunity." Only a desperate or a naive 'cat would.
@@pippenstein Have to disagree, bobcat won't care what the animal is.... if it's small enough to be killed, they will kill it if possible (experienced kitty or not.) Cat's won't care if it's edible or not, they just won't eat it.
@@XAVargasX0206 Ehhhh... small enough to be killed is the operative phrase here. And yes, animals DO learn, and they stay away from what is a waste of time. They're too smart to do otherwise. I guess we just see things differently -- but believe me, I know my stuff, too. I'm indigenous
I don't know but they smell bad. There's a nature preserve near me that keeps injured wild animals, the Turkey Vultures smell like a mixture of skunk and wood smoke. That and they eat rotten flesh, I imagine they're a bit gamey lol
PSA: Turkey vulture is a type of bird. uploader knows this. I know this. Dont be like other commenters. Oh thats not a turkey??? no shit. Its in the title for 1. And for 2. You can hear him say turkey vulture several times. I have alot of these guys flying around my house I used to think they were hawks until I looked them up. I dont see them on the ground often just their wingspan in the sky.
Thanks for posting this. Turkey Vultures get such a bad reputation. They may not be fair of face, but using that wing span of almost six feet they can glide aloft for 6 hours or more. They're pretty plentiful out here near San Jose, CA. and we often see groups of two dozen soaring on thermals.
Love this. As a student of nagualism, my trecena sign is the vulture, and that is why I have learned so much about them, and I love what you had to say about these amazing feathered people. And the more one learns about them, the more one is impressed by them. But of course, I'm biased ;-)
@@goudagrishhdoe8925 We have a few clips of both Turkey Vultures and Bobcats in a few of our videos. Wife & I don't spend a lot of time looking for wildlife, just mostly record what we see on our morning walk. The Vultures are making a good return to big numbers.
turkey vultures just like wild turkeys have insane eyesight, it knew it was there all along and even with its head down has the field of view to still see him
Nahh I'm sure he had a whole film crew lined up just like everyone else that has to film with what you have at the time trying to catch something in a given moment! Maybe next time he will have a sound guy with him, a couple of tripods and a film editor just to get the right footage to satisfy asswipes such as yourself! Now get the hell outa here!!!!
Vultures are obligate scavengers, not predators. Turkey vultures are physically incapable of surviving on a predatory lifestyle; they don’t have the feet or talons for it.
@@LBCJeremy I agree with ostrich lol but. I disagree with pigeon. I volunteer at a rehab for birds. Pigeons are one of the strongest bird's I've ever seen. I found one with an amputated wing. He was still alive, trying to survived. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen.
you can see @1.46 he lifts his head up he knows he's there @ 1.52 he looks right at him then looks away hes thinking ok i need to get the hell outahere like real soon
They are very dumb. I've literally had to get out of my car to shoo them off the road when they are eating roadkill. If you hit them they will destroy your grill and radiator because they are not small birds.
@@epistte They are very smart birds, actually; vultures are notorious among raptor rehabbers for their intelligence, and some species are capable of learning the semantics of certain words. They have weak flat feet with blunted talons, so they can’t move dead animals out of the road, and thus often resort to eating them in the street. The best way to prevent collisions is to use a shovel to move roadkill out of the street for them.
Oh hi Bobcat, Have you come for the morning special? No? Ooook... I'm just going to turn 45° eastward with my meal fully clinched and spread my wings out softly and... *Tell the waiter I left the tip*
Waoh. Each time the vulture looked down, the bobcat took a few more steps. So cunning & intelligent. No way he was getting that vulture. So alert.
Am I the only one amazed by how low that Bobcat can get into the grass!?
Anywho, great footage!
I was also it amazing how he crept towards its prey
I never seen an interaction like this! How awesome! I’ve also never seen a wild bobcat in person before.
I have only seen one in my 66 years. They are very elusive creatures.
Everytime that bird put its head down to take a bite of its meal the cat crept forward then stopped when the bird looked up. that's called stealth
The vulture knew it was there
It didn't work for it because that culture had keen sight and saw it before it even made the first move.
No the vulture just didn’t give a fuck😭
it was like a cartoon scene from tom and jerry or something
He was unbothered, literally the vulture would eat-look at bobcat-eat-look at bobcat, etc. the bobcat was likely inexperienced and got way too close way too fast and didn’t realize the vulture already knew it was there.
Good narration and framing while filming. You left nice distance between subjects and the edge of the frame through appropriate zooming! :)
1:41 is when he thinks "oh shit, this thing just snuck right up to me..."
Cat: That's my dinner, I was coming back to finish it.
Vulture: Ohhh, this was yours . . . well, gotta go . . . .
That was cool to watch sometimes you win sometimes you lose thanks for sharing

@@paisteuser06 I live near an old flooded quarry where the vultures live. They use the updrafts coming off the cliff and the lake.
Vultures are the best bird...change my mind.

Love how the T.V Froze On The Spot Upon Noticing The Bobcat. Gr8t Video!
1:38 The bird realised , im being hunt lmao
Beautiful Bobcat and healthy looking
Turkey vulture : Ahhh haaa , saw ya coming 😂
Bobcat : Damn , that would’ve made a nice lunch !!! 😾
Vulture: You gotta be quicker than that
The bird knew the whole time lmaoooo it just let that bobcat do all that work n was like " SYKE!" LMAO
Bobcat is beautiful. Looks healthy
Yes, very much so.
The coolest part of this whole video was.
Seeing how completely aware the, Bobcat, was of the guy filming.
The T V. was an impressive size.
Easily a linebacker.
There's a turkey over there... The bobcat is sneaking up on the turkey... The turkey is eating something ... The turkey.. I mean a turkey vulture...LMAO !
Great video! Thanks for capturing this.
Can't believe you caught this on film. Cool video!
The bobcats and coyotes have a better chance at this when it’s dark out, or usually pre-dawn hours
Yes. All felines have great night vision.
This is why villagers in India wear masks of a persons face on the back of thier heads when walking or working in the fields. Tigers like to attack from behind but get confused by a face on both sides.
If he thought that was a turkey I’m not having Thanksgiving dinner at his house 😳
😆 lol
Sure
You are so right. I am wondering if he was working with the bobcat. Happy that it got away.
😅😅😅
For Reels! LOL
I've actually seen a Turkey buzzard in person and they are huge.
I see em all the time them and black buzzards,,
Turkey Vulture: Bye, Kiddo! It's not thanksgiving today! 🌚
Turkey vultures can’t talk. Seriously.
@@dannilaser16 whoosh!
Elsewhere on UA-cam there's a guy skinning, and cooking and eating the damn BobCats!
Rather them do that then be a bigot & kill several for fun & throw them out into the woods after taking pictures and a video
Looked like a Black Vulture, to me. Turkey Vultures are larger and have bald, featherless red heads.
The turkey vulture has a keen sense of smell，it can smell where the bobcat is without even having to see it
Just as I figured. As soon as the bobcat got too close for comfort, the turkey vulture took off with its meal to continue eating away from the bobcat.
Human:I don’t like turkey meat,it tastes woody.
Bobcat:I like it, because I eat it with its fresh blood .
That TV knew exactly where it's enemy was, it kept looking to its right as if to say I know where the threat is on my left, just need to check something isn't flanking me from the right. Very cool and composed. 1
That vulture will get the last laugh once this cat dies!!
Turkey vulture flew away when he was done eating. He saw the cat the whole time. There was nothing left of the carcass for the cat
The Bobcat (named Bob?) may be a juvenile and yet to learn that he needs to stalk his anticipated lunch from behind.
The smart bird was all the time ready to run away and he saw his enemy clearly trying to catch him
What a nice scene. I love those felines.
*Bobcat:* _*Looks like it's McDonald's once again."_
Cat was after whatever the vulture was eating.
Something that can fly vs something that can't fly?
It's a no brainer.
What a great clip! I was pretty sure the TV was done for.
"Come back. I only wanted your autograph."
The bobcat wanted an early thanksgiving meal.
Volture saw him the whole time
Smelled him, more likely, but yeah -- you nailed it. The vulture was just not really all that worried, cuz they actually don't have natural predators. That cat was just a young'n or was very desperate.

When I crave drumsticks I just go to the nearest KFC.
I understand that vultures aren't exactly the tastiest things to eat.
Especially considering that the Turkey vulture was most likely snacking on bear dung in this video
I don't know but they smell bad. There's a nature preserve near me that keeps injured wild animals, the Turkey Vultures smell like a mixture of skunk and wood smoke. That and they eat rotten flesh, I imagine they're a bit gamey lol
"Hey wait a minute, you wasn't that close a second ago"
Man the bobcat like geez all that work and no chicken wings 😾
Bruh, I adore turkey vultures. My mans was really taking his sweet time knowing full well that he was being hunted. It's honestly a funny sight

Everytime the bird took a bite, bobcat took 2 steps forward. Interesting to watch

Turkey vultures are really cool birds.
Bobcat ;
It took you so long my friend
Poor stealth... well at least this time. Looked like big black bird was aware of bobcat's presence for over a minute. He was always ready to "fly".
The bird was real careful, it's head would only be down when eating for a second or two, then up to check, on its game.
They're super smart.

Why would the bobcat stalk the turkey vulture from the front? Maybe it's a young bobcat without a lot of experience.
cat had no intention to catch the bird because he knows the bird is predator , he was trying to intimidate the vulture out of fear
Vultures are obligate scavengers, not predators. Turkey vultures are physically incapable of surviving on a predatory lifestyle; they don’t have the feet or talons for it.
This is the most viewed turkey vulture video on UA-cam.
The beauty of able to fly away. I would like to be a bird any day.
Any bird besides a pigeon and ostrich for me lol
@@LBCJeremy I agree with ostrich lol but. I disagree with pigeon. I volunteer at a rehab for birds. Pigeons are one of the strongest bird's I've ever seen. I found one with an amputated wing. He was still alive, trying to survived. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen.
Dude, where do you live that you have bobcats rolling thru your backyard?
This video should be called "turkey gets away"
The bobcat only wanted to scare the vulture off and steal it's prey. Then it saw the prey was inedible carrion and left.
2 steps, freeze, 1 step, freeze... I will remember this technique.
A bobcat would get a stomach ache if it ate a turkey vulture--it lucked out, imo
They were playin what time is it Mr wolf
I don't think the bobcat would really wanna eat that anyways...
Not even a Bobcat will eat something like that.
you can see @1.46 he lifts his head up he knows he's there @ 1.52 he looks right at him then looks away hes thinking ok i need to get the hell outahere like real soon
That fuckin cat was on his game. Better luck next time, buddy.
Anticipation was good!
Bobcats are badasses. I'd love to see one in the wild.
They are very elusive creatures. If you have spent a lot of time in the woods, i bet they have seen you. I have only seen one myself in 66 years.
bob was hoping for early Thanksgiving

Come on folks. That was NOT a Turkey but a Turkey Vulture. Yes Turkeys can fly especially the wild ones.
As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly.......WKRP in Cincinnati.
what is the difference between lynx and bobcat?
where did you see the turkey?
I was starting to think that the only turkey in the picture was the cameraman.
Lucky cat. Eating that thing would probably give him/ her massive indigestion...harrr
bobcat never fancied his chances
The cats moving back to the tree line before another housing development is placed there.
Mission failed🤣🤣
I was pulling for the bobcat
Same
natures version of red light green light
That bobcat is magnificent
notice that cat only moves when the birds head is down. human hunters do the same thing, only move when you won't be seen.
Cool video
Not a happy Thanksgiving for the bobcat 🤣
What state is this?
Oh hi Bobcat,
Have you come for the morning special?
No?
Ooook...

Do people eat Turkey vultures?
Her food flew away. Hahaha.
Great video. Thank You.
Are these turkeys ok to eat or are they unhealthy/ill birds and not for human consumption?
That was not an bird you would want to eat. That was a vulture (turkey vulture) the regular turkeys are fine to eat.
not for eating this is a turkey vulture
