17:48 re animals protecting human from sharks Marine biologist Nan Houser had an interesting interaction. A humpback whale used its body to block a shark from getting to the diver and then lifted the diver out of the water. She thought it was initially attacking her or at least being weirdly aggressive until she saw the shark. A year later, on a return visit to the area, the whale remembered her and they hung out for a while. Search "humpback saves diver"

If a swordfish accelerated towards a shoal of fish, if the thresher was on the other side and the swordfish was approaching from the thresher in a side-on collision it'd have no way to redirect or evade in time plunging into the thresher shark.

When one scientific study finds a conclusion, other scientists attempt to reproduce those findings to make sure the findings are accurate and thet the study was done properly. There is a long history of humans making shit up, to explain things they've experienced but don't understand, so the fact that scientists require proof before belief shouldn't surprise you.

I've read before that porcupine quills have antibiotics in them (because they get quills stuck in themselves sometimes), so they eventually will get pushed out and not usually get infected. Also, I know as well that leopards can also hunt porcupines; there's footage of leopards in African reserves hunting porcupines by exploiting how their quills launch. The quills launch on their own when the guard hairs beneath are touched - the leopard gets behind the porcupine, which is easy for the leopard because that's the porcupines natural defence position, but instead of going headfirst, the leopard carefully brushes the back of the porcupine while keeping postured to the side, to trigger the quills without getting hit. They'll keep doing that until all the quills are released. Would be cool to see explored more in a future video.

The predator-prey relationship is in no way clear-cut. The natural-weapon-science of boars' tusks and such is fascinating. Predators have to get into position to maximize the efficacy of their compact and efficient teeth and claws, they have the elements of surprise and initiative on their side. 'Prey' animals like pigs have only a brief window to react to have a say in the outcome. However, 'prey' can counter the predators' evolutionary investments by going into the opposite direction of "use it rarely but carry a big stick" weapon philosophy - for instance a pig need only wildly swing to the side with its big gnarly tusks in time to sideswipe and gouge the attacker. In the natural world such injuries are a death sentence to predators.

"accurate" isn't the word I'd use. The amount of ill researched information and speculation to the actual research is pretty poor tbh! Orca's generally stick to their primary food source. The Orca's in these instances avoided the pilot whales because these particular Orca pods were fish eaters, so didn't see the whales as prey. The whales on the other hand would most likely have had to deal Orca's that hunted them at some point, so they presume all Orca's as a threat, hence their aggressive stance. It's simply a case of avoiding a meaningless fight to the Orca's while it's viewed as a genuine threat for the whales. Make no mistake though. Things would change swiftly If the Orca's primary food source became scarce and they decided Pilot whale was back on the menu.

I’m sorry WATOP but 80 shark attacks a year is just a really rough estimate of how many actually take place. I love sharks always have always will but In South Africa Eluxolweni to be specific hundreds of men die every year trying to illegally collect abalones. These attacks go unreported because they would essentially be giving up their lively hood and freedom to report a shark attack. These guys literally swim across a shark Highway to make money from a crustacean to feed their families and have been doing it for years. No one will ever be able to even estimate how many shark attacks actually happen in a years time or even 100 years time because tons of them go unreported

Your argument would be better if they didn't pull tons of bodies out with a vast majority of them being drowned victims. They find dozens of bodies there with no shark sign with locals rarely reporting shark attacks, it might happen but there is no way in hell its HUNDREDS of attacks. And in the same way even if it does happen and HUNDREDS are dying they are swimming across a SHARK HIGHWAY, this would be like me paying homeless people 1000$ to swim in a gator farm and arguing about gator death statistics

Many years ago I was out surfing. It was stormy weather, and me and my buddies were catching waves. We split up so we wouldn't interfere with each other. We were quite a ways out from shore. When I looked around for my buddies, they were all on shore. I waved them to come out, but they were waving me to come in. I kept trying to wave them out. They gave me a signal to look behind me. When I did, I could see 4 shark fins coming right for me. I started paddling to shore as fast as I could. I kept looking behind me to see how long it would take before the sharks caught up. One time while I was looking behind me, I saw 2 dolphin fins also racing in to where I was. I made it to shore, but all of a sudden there was a ruckus in the ocean. Next thing I saw was the 2 dolphin fins swimming back out to sea. The ocean turned red with blood. Those 2 dolphins saved my life by killing the 4 sharks. I owe my life to those 2 dolphins 🐬.

Funny that it's called "Mobbing", when many birds repeatedly attack one bigger animal. Because "Mobbing" is the German word for "bullying"
They bully/mob the bigger bird, I think the term isn't exclusively german. I googled it and it sais that it originates from the latin expression "mobile vulgus" meaning the fickle populace; nowadays I have heard it used widely in the context of bullying-adjacent behaviour. I've never thought of the origin of the word, it's kinda interesting since the expression is used often nowadays
@@sanjablazina2879 old Germanic has evolved into many modern languages, that's where many words come from and that's why many words sound similar in different languages. The word "Mobbing" comes from the German word "Mob" wich could be translated with "riot" to describe vandalizing people
@@micha-jeremybeckmann1984 same goes for latin and "mob" is indeed latin in origin in more archaic german a disorganized group of people would be most likely called something like "Houvan" (Haufen / heap in english due to the differing v-consonant shift) like in the a bit more organized "Kriegshaufen"
@@feldgeist2637 that might be true, old Germanic and Latin have also mixed a lot, wich resulted in English for example, I believe that they had Anglicisms before as well, maybe they used the same word in both languages. Because today's Italy and today's Germany have been one empire in the past (the reman Empire), in wich they used to speak both languages
@@micha-jeremybeckmann1984 many of the more specific words in our languages are of latin origin as it was until recently the language of science the commonly and most often used words are predominantly germanic ....tho english suffered also a lot from their centuries of court french - messed it up in a way that now nobody is able to write proper english by just listening to it "ay, on our hour tower my eye sees an Island across the sea" know it in its written form or forget it ! wonder how high their illiteracy rate is compared to other eveloped countries ....

17:48 re animals protecting human from sharks Marine biologist Nan Houser had an interesting interaction. A humpback whale used its body to block a shark from getting to the diver and then lifted the diver out of the water. She thought it was initially attacking her or at least being weirdly aggressive until she saw the shark. A year later, on a return visit to the area, the whale remembered her and they hung out for a while. Search "humpback saves diver"
This video covered a surprising range of topics for something nominally about what orcas found most threatening!
My guess is that the swordfish stabbed the thresher shark whilst both were hunting fish. Just because you can accelerate quickly under water doesnt mean you can stop quickly. If a swordfish accelerated towards a shoal of fish, if the thresher was on the other side and the swordfish was approaching from the thresher in a side-on collision it'd have no way to redirect or evade in time plunging into the thresher shark.
acceleration includes stopping
@@Blox117 that's deceleration.
High speed jolts into schools of fish and limited visibility while plunges through sounds very plaucible, yet these fools are trying to make us belief these fish are the musketeers of the sea.
They can accelerate sideways VERY fast at speed. They are extremely maneuverable and have far faster reactions than sharks. Usually they use their swords to stun fish by lateral high speed flicking. But if a school of sharks in a blood frenzy tried to attack some swordfish, they would certainly stab the fuckers.
Yeah I figure they were hunting the same fish and the swordfish turned at the same time the mako shark did.
Let's just agree that all creatures in the order Odontoceti (toothed wales & dolphins) are fucking terrifying. Most hunt in packs, communicate with haunting calls including sperm whales which are the loudest creatures on earth, and will sometimes kill just for fun. So cool, but so scary.
I guess most people don't get, that chickens naturally are predatory and under certain circumstances higly aggressive birds. Cock fights, even without the added blades, are brutal. There's also a lot of footage of roosters attacking and killing predators like cobras and smaller mammals. While wild chickens usually mostly eat insects and seeds, they wouldn't stop picking off small mammals, reptiles and amphibians when they encounter them.
and if you get drunk-- pass out in the chicken yard-- they will eat you

When I was researching my book Pigs, Pork, and Heartland Hogs: From Wild Boar to Baconfest, I found a wide range of reasons to be concerned about pigs, feral or domestic. As noted by Edward, Duke of York, in the 1400s, “The boar slayeth a man with one stroke, as with a knife." And in the U.S., feral pigs have been known to kill bears.
When I was living in southern Spain, I decided to take my horse out for a ride, we lived out in the countryside so we had miles of trails and down on the beach. That day we ran across a group of feral hogs and I hesitated to think what could have happened. They scare me more than bears!
Having been in the woods a large portion of my youth I've seen what Feral Hogs can do. I came across a deer once that had been gored to death, only reason I could see for it was that it may have gotten to close to the hogs nest. Safest bet is to treat them like Polar bears and leave them far far away, unless you're prepared cause they can be downright terrifying.

If it's used for defense against orcas they wouldn't need to use it often as orcas are extremely intelligent and would understand there is easier prey in the ocean
I always thought orcas were the goats of the sea. I feel the pilot whales must have to be actively attacking them for other reasons than them simply confusing orcas as a threat to their "food source." Even if pilot whales can kill orcas, it still has to be a risky endeavor. I also think having a territorial predisposition doesn't make complete sense ether. Something doesn't add up imo.
There are too many... And unnecessary confrontation is dumb. Specially when you can lose

That's a feasible theory. Whales descended from land mammals, so it's easily possible.
Australian "ravens" are called crows. Yes, the Willie Wag Tail is a persistent cheeky bird :-)
What people often refer to as crows in Australia is actually the Australian Raven
Maybe the pilot whales are aggressive toward the resident orcas because occasionally the roving nomadic orcas come by and eat them. I could see them not seeing a difference in the 2 groups.
Fun fact not all narwhals have tusks, and a few, including one on display at the Sant Ocean Hall, have two. They are noticeably absent in most females-a mere 15 percent of females have an elongated tusk-like the males.

Boars are frightening! I also love how scientists negate almost any "supposed" fact, like polar bearrs throwing things off cliffs to stun walrus. Of course they also made fun of sailors talking about giant waves. For that matter they were rather disdainful regarding continental drift back in the day as well. There's plenty more examples. Sadly, generally speaking, the scientific community doesn't seem as open to other ideas as they should be. Edit: As the video went on, I thought should post another thought.

@@CountingStars333 Yeah intelligence is scary. 🙄
Except it was OTHER SCIENTISTS that proposed continental drift. Yes, scientists frequently discount things they've not proven themselves, that is the essense of science. Something needs to be proven, using scientific method, before being accepted as fact. And the scientific community is it's own biggest scrutinizer. When one scientific study finds a conclusion, other scientists attempt to reproduce those findings to make sure the findings are accurate and thet the study was done properly. There is a long history of humans making shit up, to explain things they've experienced but don't understand, so the fact that scientists require proof before belief shouldn't surprise you. Sadly, generally speaking, you're speaking your opinion and not facts. And you wonder why scientists are skeptical!

As fast as swordfish are, maybe it accidentally stabbed a thresher shark in a feeding frenzy. Swordfish are very fast, and divers filming them have been afraid that they may get gored by accident in a frenzy.
Yes, could have happened in a bait-ball feeding, when several different predators come together.
they're the fastest swimming animal in the world but only for short distances. The Orca hasta be king in the speed department over underwater distances though as they're not only fast they have cruising speeds that fast as well as they're power to weight ratio is enormous. hell they keep up with boats doing 30 mph for miles just frolicking in wakes. tell you what if I was the owner of that boat I'd stop just to see wtf they would do.
9:15 The Turtle 🐢 is holding his head up like : “ I don’t care, I just killed a Great White Shark 🦈 “ !!!😅
Neat video! The orca vs. pilot whale conflict is especially interesting.
Swordfish and Threshers have similar feeding patterns, just using opposite ends of the body. I'd guess that to be an incidental encounter during a meal.
😁 Those are juvenile orcas. They were probably on a play date and MUCH larger moms nearby. What a thrill! 😁
yeah just like us as juveniles everything is a learning experience.
I'm surprised how useful the content is given the tabloid voice of the narrator ^^
I wonder if narwhal teeth are more used a a sensory mechanism. I'd like to see how they transfer sound and sensation. Instead of breaking ice, maybe they use them to gauge how thick the ice is.

I've read before that porcupine quills have antibiotics in them (because they get quills stuck in themselves sometimes), so they eventually will get pushed out and not usually get infected. Also, I know as well that leopards can also hunt porcupines; there's footage of leopards in African reserves hunting porcupines by exploiting how their quills launch. The quills launch on their own when the guard hairs beneath are touched - the leopard gets behind the porcupine, which is easy for the leopard because that's the porcupines natural defence position, but instead of going headfirst, the leopard carefully brushes the back of the porcupine while keeping postured to the side, to trigger the quills without getting hit. They'll keep doing that until all the quills are released. Would be cool to see explored more in a future video.
Honey badgers might also hunt them occasionally, I think. Citation needed, but I feel like I remember that from a nature show.
@@al145 honey badgers hunt them by going headfirst and straight to the soft underbelly
Bro porcupines DO NOT shoot or launch their quills. They do similar movement to echidnas when touched the quills twitch upwards engaging their body into a more spiked position rather than having the quills hang downwards as they usually do when calm. Porcupine quills just detach very easily and are barbed so they piece the predator and as it pulls away the quills come off. It's not a fkn Pokemon lol
@@al145 they dont have strategy. They run in and kill them, as is their attitude towards everything
@@matschrepf The quills detach when the guard hairs are triggered and the quills have two keratin ligaments that are tensioned against each other, that act like a spring. So, that would meet the definition of launch. That's why this works for the leopard, as the porcupine is not voluntarily releasing the quills and thus cannot prevent their release.
Just want to say thank you I watch your channel all the time most of the stuff I see in there I already know but it's interesting and entertaining but today I learned something about pilot 👍
Too bad it's not true
The game changer is the mass and density of Orcas. It's like Spiderman fighting Superman.
Crazy. First time I've ever even heard or seen this animal. Thx
Most shark attacks on people happen to people on the surface. They might look like a seal or other food. Divers are seldom attacked because they don't look like food.
Sharks don't have great senses for detecting food. nothing like Orca. They've even been known to bite & swallow boat fenders for chrissakes. Orca's have excellent eyesight both below and above water. they can tell the diff between a diver in a wet suit from a seal even though they look very similar. a shark probably couldn't tell the difference nor would they really care they'll eat anything but that is not the case with Orca they are very picky eaters.
Yayyyy WATOP posted
This guy switches subjects like a stoplight
I've never realised hiw big narwhals are! Usually they are swimming around alone. But seeing them right next to orcas amazed me! I thought they were as bid as dolphins.
What do you call a fish with a cocaine habit? A snortfish
HOOKED
Interesting . I dont know much about pilot whale and never knew they would attack Orcas as Orcas seem to fight anything in the ocean with no real fear unless you're talking about the Adult great whales.
Amazing Video !! Well done !! This must have taken so much time and work to create . 🎸

I thought this was about to what orcas fear. 8 minutes about orcas,17 minutes that has nothing to do with orcas. I have had enough about sharks. Pigs,rats,walrus,polar bear,chickens,fox,raven. Are you trying to tell us that orca’s are afraid of them. Come on,you were one of my go to channels. This is regodamn diculous.
The predator-prey relationship is in no way clear-cut. The natural-weapon-science of boars' tusks and such is fascinating. Predators have to get into position to maximize the efficacy of their compact and efficient teeth and claws, they have the elements of surprise and initiative on their side. 'Prey' animals like pigs have only a brief window to react to have a say in the outcome. However, 'prey' can counter the predators' evolutionary investments by going into the opposite direction of "use it rarely but carry a big stick" weapon philosophy - for instance a pig need only wildly swing to the side with its big gnarly tusks in time to sideswipe and gouge the attacker. In the natural world such injuries are a death sentence to predators.

I really appreciate how accurate this channel really is, as compared to the rest. The production, scripts, editing, narration, research and consistency are so TOP you'd expect and perhaps forgive the occasional mistake... But I've literally never noticed any misinformation. You really are TOPS. 💖 Thanks for this video and all the interesting and beautiful photography. I love Cetaceans and could never get enough! 😊
"accurate" isn't the word I'd use. The amount of ill researched information and speculation to the actual research is pretty poor tbh! Orca's generally stick to their primary food source. The Orca's in these instances avoided the pilot whales because these particular Orca pods were fish eaters, so didn't see the whales as prey. The whales on the other hand would most likely have had to deal Orca's that hunted them at some point, so they presume all Orca's as a threat, hence their aggressive stance. It's simply a case of avoiding a meaningless fight to the Orca's while it's viewed as a genuine threat for the whales. Make no mistake though. Things would change swiftly If the Orca's primary food source became scarce and they decided Pilot whale was back on the menu.
Except the claim that an orca's top speed is only 15 mph. 10s of research shows 30-35 mph (only confirming what I have seen with my own eyes)
Another false information that the pilot whales mess around with the sperm whale. Bull sperm sonar would easily kill or seriously damage the piolet whales.
In rare cases there has been one in every pod that has two tusks
If it's in "every" pod then how is it rare? 🤣
If you remember this you deserve a veterans discount: Narwhals, Narwhals Swimming in the ocean Causing a commotion Coz they are so awesome Narwhals, Narwhals Swimming in the ocean Pretty big and pretty white They beat a polar bear in a fight

Coincidentally, he also made a song about orcas.
Its still my ringtone😁
I love the narrators voice. So nice and human! Porcupine fish? I thought they were called puffer fish...
The "See you later" sounds always so George Carlin
I’m sorry WATOP but 80 shark attacks a year is just a really rough estimate of how many actually take place. I love sharks always have always will but In South Africa Eluxolweni to be specific hundreds of men die every year trying to illegally collect abalones. These attacks go unreported because they would essentially be giving up their lively hood and freedom to report a shark attack. These guys literally swim across a shark Highway to make money from a crustacean to feed their families and have been doing it for years. No one will ever be able to even estimate how many shark attacks actually happen in a years time or even 100 years time because tons of them go unreported
Your argument would be better if they didn't pull tons of bodies out with a vast majority of them being drowned victims. They find dozens of bodies there with no shark sign with locals rarely reporting shark attacks, it might happen but there is no way in hell its HUNDREDS of attacks. And in the same way even if it does happen and HUNDREDS are dying they are swimming across a SHARK HIGHWAY, this would be like me paying homeless people 1000$ to swim in a gator farm and arguing about gator death statistics
@@jer6579 aksually (first world gooble gobble) You don't know jacksquat, about what people in developing nations do to survive!
@@CountingStars333 tons of people die doing what they do, it's dangerous as fuck, most of them just drown. Bodies get recovered all the time, they're drown victims not shark attack victims with people rarely getting attacked by sharks in the area. I'm just saying we would know if HUNDREDS were dying to sharks.
@@jer6579 I see what you getting at my guy but that still doesn’t change the fact that the estimate is way low on shark attacks just as it is on those murder over abalones you speak off
@@jer6579 believe me buddy theirs murders and shark attacks happening in those waters that aren’t getting reported and will continue to not get reported unfortunately.
Lots of people don’t know about Pilot Whales, they are not as big as Orcas but the can get big enough to fight Orcas, plus they swim in much larger pods, I’d say Pilot Whales for the win, when I saw the video of all them Orcas getting chased off by the Pilot whales I was “Oh shit” how come I never herd of these animals.
The pilot whales need their own free willy, and a cool sounding nickname imo
You should've named the video "A bit of everything" since orcas take only few minutes of the whole damn 25 minutes video. That was a chaotic video...
The tusks could be for vibration locating techniques
There’s a story of 2 guys sailing along in their sailboat. One guy was below deck and the guy at the helm heard a loud thump and after no answer from below he lashed the helm and went below. There he found his buddy pierced with the sword of a swordfish through the side of the boat through his companion. In guessing the authorities didn’t need to investigate the death as a homicide.
that's probably a serious stretch. those proboscis's are tough but they're made atta keratin, not steel.
Ha Ha
I believe there's a good chance that human involvement I eat the net the shark was caught in killed it. A sea turtles corpse would start decay after a couple days or maybe even a week or two. All the sharks had to do was wait and keep breathing which is very difficult when caught in a net. Or eventually just keep biting down over and over until all the teeth break.
25 min videos are the best, goated channel
That last thing was interesting. I have observed some birds can sit in tree next to the road and as a car comes along one of them swoopes down in a death defying away just in front of the car. (sometimes not making it). I have wondered if this is young birds impressing their friends or a way to attract a mate. It does not seem to be a scare reaction as they are going toward the danger and no other bird is moving.
Adding onto the dolphin one, they don't just not protect humans, it's not super uncommon for them to actively try to drown or s-assault or both to humans
don't wanna be on your period in the water with them!
A little off subject but I’ve always thought of the manatee as a vegetarian or herbivore, which I later found out to be 100% false. I have witnessed manatee eating fish and was completely shocked.
These things, the Platypus & the Manatee & a Thresher Shark , & Swordfish need they're own TV sitcom show together since everyone always forgets about them because they're too busy on every other predator or fluffy cut looking animals
We need to see a Porcupine versus a honey badger 😂 the two top dogs of weird luck
Those chickens ganging up on the fox and killing it reminds me of how Japanese honey bees are known to kill Giant Asian Hornets, their natural predators by balling up against any scouts that enter their hive and turning up the heat to essentially microwave the giant hornet to death.
There's growing evidence of pilot whales somehow scaring Orcas to the point where the Orcas flee from the area.However, apart from Orcas,no species of dolphins are actually capable of ramming large sharks with their rostrums (noses,beaks). It's got something to do with the structure and lack of strength to cope with a heavy impact and the dolphin would fatally wound itself
Only thing growing is people's imagination. There's absolutely no proof Orcas are scared of anything after all they kill Blue Whales for their tongue and Great White Sharks for their liver . Which of course is the reason the shark lover made the myth up .
Do you have a source I can read that from? I’m looking it up on Google, but the results suggest otherwise.
That's not completely true. Ofcourse all conflict causes damage no matter the species. Dolphins will attack sharks by striking the gills from multiple.angles from many dolphins but this is the very last option. They will usually try to run. Sharks however are very wary of coming across pods of dolphins . I wonder why this is? It's because they are smarter than sharks and will outwit them.
@@jigzonyt517 Of course Great White Sharks fear Orcas more than anything and as we know Orcas are Dolphins and highly intelligent .
🧢 orcas kill sharks all the time. Stop being a fanboy for sharks
Orcas are most afraid of SeaWorld trainers 😢
Dolphin's have been known to get over enthusiastic around humans , and play and drown said human , keeping a snorkelling dude underwater for kilometres, amazing behaviour .GO Figure
sword fish generally aren't maliciously spearing marine wildlife, they swim so fast collisions are bound to happen, no doubt some spearings are in self defense but when things like whales turn up with a swordfish lodged in it and the sword through its heart it's hard to believe it's intentional
Lmao so they're just absolute dummies? Zipping along faster than even they can control? Not sure why I find that so funny
We should all be very concerned Orcas are dolphins not whales. Look how smart they are . Dolphins ,we should be wary of them. Love them but be wary of them. My opinion. ✌🤔🐩
Unfortunately they are whales so there’s that
Why? There are zero reports of orcas attacking in the wild. Only time they should be feared is when in captivity. Even though their captives deserve to be slowly mauled to death by an orca.

Bro, Im 47, and this is the first time I hear about this fish 😂
Many years ago I was out surfing. It was stormy weather, and me and my buddies were catching waves. We split up so we wouldn't interfere with each other. We were quite a ways out from shore. When I looked around for my buddies, they were all on shore. I waved them to come out, but they were waving me to come in. I kept trying to wave them out. They gave me a signal to look behind me. When I did, I could see 4 shark fins coming right for me. I started paddling to shore as fast as I could. I kept looking behind me to see how long it would take before the sharks caught up. One time while I was looking behind me, I saw 2 dolphin fins also racing in to where I was. I made it to shore, but all of a sudden there was a ruckus in the ocean. Next thing I saw was the 2 dolphin fins swimming back out to sea. The ocean turned red with blood. Those 2 dolphins saved my life by killing the 4 sharks. I owe my life to those 2 dolphins 🐬. Thank you for sharing this video, it brought back memories of the day.
I don't think this happened.
@@nathrogers7 this definitely didn't happen
@@jwr3289 maybe or maybe not but there are documented cases where dolphins have saved humans from sharks
I feel like they use to feed with, for poking around in deep cracks and such. It could have a ton of functions, or just 1
Where is Steve? It's great listening to you, but it's much nicer listening to you with Steve doing his things in the background. Come back, Steve!

My guy slurping coffee in the intro like its something he done before 😂
Pretty sure the Thrasher Shark just accidentaly ran into the Swordfish. 90% sure. I've always thought what would happen if multiple predators go into big swarms of fish at the same time 💀 Seems extremely plausible, it must happen sometimes... obviously
Steve Gardner has been busy. No more catfishing for the Gardner family. Hahaha
🐢Tiger shark: Hold my beer:
I once watched a mocking bird keep at least a dozen huge crows from getting at a dropped hamburger. It went on for at least a half hour. When the crows gave up and left, so did the mocking bird and never touched the food.
