Description
El águila gigante Amplibuteo utiliza el fuego para poner en fuga a los habitantes de las llanuras; los lentos y rezagados no tardarán en caer en sus garras.Mini doodle inspirado en ciertas aves rapaces australianas (el milano negro y el halcón berigora) que han sido vistos tomando brasas y ramas encendidas y dejándolas caer en pastizales para provocar incendios que espanten presas potenciales. Este comportamiento solo recientemente fue anunciado por cientificos pero los aborigenes australianos e incluso bomberos que combatían incendios forestales aseguran haberlo atestiguado desde hace mucho. Así que pensé, ¿por qué no en Norteamérica prehistórica?
The giant eagle Amplibuteo uses fire to make the prairie's inhabitants flee; the slow and confused will be an easy target for its deadly talons.
Mini doodle inspired by certain Australian raptors (black kite, brown falcon) which have been seen taking flight with burning branches and dropping them in undisturbed grassland; the resulting fire reveals potential prey. This behavior was only recently announced by scientists but has apparently been witnessed by aborigins and even firefighters for a long time. So I thought, prehistoric North America, why not?

So humans can no longer claim to be the only animals that use fire. Huh.

That is an amazing behaviour, and this is an amazing capture of it.
For some reason the idea of giant raptors using fire like this makes me think, "huh, maybe the folks who though dinosaurs were dragons are on to something here..." : )p

If the corvids start doing this, we're fucked as a species. I, for one, welcome our new avian overlords.

Yeah, it's sort of amusing when science discovers something like that and people are all "wow, that's friggin' unexpected!"... When, in reality, the so called "primitive tribes" already knew it for centuries.
Glad you mentioned Ga'Hoole, in those stories owls used burning branches indeed

El tema de la inteligencia en las aves es fascinante . En varias aves , se han observado casos de utilización de herramientas ( por ejemplo , el kea de Nueva Zelanda ) ; en algunas especies de cuervos está documentada incluso la fabricación de herramientas sencillas ( anzuelos , doblando un trozo de alambre ) para acceder a la comida que no podían alcanzar . Es famoso el caso del loro gris Álex , que era capaz de construir frases , e incluso de inventar nuevas palabras para referirse a objetos de los que no conocía el nombre , para comunicarse con sus cuidadores humanos

That moment when you realise birds were using fire probably millions of years before the whole "man created fire" thing started.

We're still in the Age of Dinosaurs...

The irony how no one suspects the birds as the last straw for all of Dinosauria

the nature has it's own arsonist, this is unbelievable

So if some birds of prey know how to use fire, what's stoping them from ruling the planet and wiping out humans?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The birds know of the true danger of the Red Flower and choose to use it only to hunt, not destroy.

They're probably smarter than us; they see how things are working for us, and decide to keep their lives simple.

Um yeah, fire eats EVERYTHING including mammoths
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not stupid. That even a mammoth would be scared and no match for fire should come as a surprise to no one. It certainly didn't come as a surprise to me. It's just that when something can easily scare and destroy something that itself is very formidable, you tend to want to point it out.

Clever girl...
Also how do you pronounce this thing's name Amplee-booty-yo?

I just pronounce it as it's written.

...Good point....also since you're here....can you tell me what Vete a la meirda means....I heard that word in a movie so I asked my Spanish teacher what that meant and she just said "something very bad" and it's been haunting me for four years....care to tell me since so speak pretty fluent Spanish?....Por Favor mi amor?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Vete a la mierda" literally means "Go to the shit". It's sort of an equivalent to "go fuck yourself", and a little more crass than say, "vete al infierno" (go to hell).
Oh and don´t call me mi amor XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh 0_0 XD, if someone told me to "Go to the shit" I would be like, you want me to go to the bathroom? another thing, according to my Spanish Teacher, there's another cuss word in Spanish that sounds similar to the English word church but I could never figure out what it was, you have any idea what it is?
XD, I knew i'd get a reaction out of it also, it rhymed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can´t think of any... unless your teacher meant to say it starts with a "ch" as in "church", then it could be "chingar" which in Mexico means "to fuck" ("joder" also means to fuck but is somewhat less crass).
So if you tell someone "vete a la chingada" that's pretty much "go fuck yourself", and if someone tells you "chinga a tu madre" that's about the worst thing they can say, means "go fuck your mother".
Also there are words that are derived from it and have different meanings, such as "chingón", which means someone or something is very good, or a badass, or "un chingo" means "a lot, a shitload". Curiously, "chingando" is very rarely used in a sexual context; instead, when someone tells you "no estés chingando", they mean "stop being so annoying" (mind you, it's not a word you want to use unless you want to come across as rude or hostile

It's so fun learning vulgar language in other languages, hopefully I won't have to use these words in any scenario, unless someone really brings out the devil in me, can't say the same about you, you seem to know your vulgar pretty well XD, either you've got a tongue for it or you had these words said to you, or maybe a combination of both
Also if you're from Mexico, who taught you English, school?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly I never use those words. Ever.
I taught myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow you taught yourself, that's really impressive, was it easy, I imagine learning English wouldn't be that hard
We're both in the same boat, my parents had some foul mouths themselves and they said a lot of words I shouldn't repeat, we African Americans tend to cuss ALOT infront of our kids and use the threat of violence if they were to repeat those words
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was easy, although the pronunciation was a little more difficult since I had no one to practice with. I mostly learned by listening to movies.
And to clarify, my parents didn´t use those words either (well, maybe very rarely when they were really mad
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My parents well, least my mom has a temper and it's often expressed through language, it didn't traumatize me after a while you just get used to it. Oh yeah school is just a hotspot for learning about all sorts of nasty things, It's disturbing how much sexual stuff a 6th grader knows about, I remember in the 6th Grade, our teacher let my class watch Wrong Turn 2, a movie that had people's head getting chopped in 2, several sex scenes and just LOTS of gore, essentially inbred cannibals killing and eating people in the woods, NOT appropriate for a school I'll tell ya but, nobody complained, it was better than doing school work I guess
Also as I said before, really impressive how you taught yourself English, most people can't teach themselves a different language, you could be an English teacher if you really wanted to

I thought about being a teacher myself at one point, that is until I saw their wages, if I become a teacher, it would have to be out of a love and passion to teach others, I would probably be a history or biology teacher, I would aim higher and maybe say math or chemistry but, my math skills are crap 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well Im working as a teacher right now, my salary is insignificant but I get to talk people into planting trees and reading something other than the Bible so...
If it makes you feel better, I was a straight A student for most of Elementary school, but then I failed chemistry, physics and math in highschool, and I suspect they only let me graduate because they were really sick of me at that point
