  1. I think they should have left the eagles on the island and observed the interactions and arms race for longer since we could learn more invaluable information about how these eagles strategize and adapt and how the monkey's adapt in response

  2. The information gathered by evolutionary biologists concerning many different species is outrageous…while it is a pathetic state of lunacy that Intelligent Design Creationist attack scientists due to religious, political and financial reasons. How incredibly sad that our greatest scientific theory, that allows incredible understanding of the nature of biological organisms, is attacked by people that obviously hate science and all it stands for…

  3. how sustainable is it to get single meals delivered home? how much packaging does it involve? how much delivery related pollution does it involve? is this a kind of service we should promote?

    I really like this channel, I just have perplexities about your sponsor

  4. I'm sorry about these , it's was a ridiculously good video
    But…
    How pathetic and sad millennials are that they get burden on the thought of dinner? My grandmother had to survive the communist , you with your smartphone and your tv and your freedom can handle dinner
    Millennials are so disgusting

  5. Just got back from Alaska the other day. The Bald Eagle was a common sight. My river fishing guide showed me a video of a large eagle harvesting an adult king salmon from the river a few weeks earlier. Seeing an eagle take an adult salmon from the river (easily 10+ lbs) definitely gave me new found wisdom in the power of an adult eagle.

    Harpy eagles are 10-20%+ heavier than the Bald Eagle. I can't imagine its strength.
