minus-square@pivot_rootlinkEnglish16•edit-25 months agoGators have learned well: don’t fuck with the evolved dinosaurs. Shrikes impale their prey on metal fence posts. Harpy eagles can crush a human skull like a water balloon. Crows communicate and coordinate harassment campaigns against people that have slighted them. Vultures can eat rotting meat and be totally fine. The secretary bird will stomp things to death.

minus-square@pivot_rootlinkEnglish3•5 months agoHarpy eagle grip: 530 PSI Human skull: Up to 520 pounds of pressure That doesn’t seem like much of a difference, but remember that the force is going to be concentrated at four very pointy talons. Has this ever happened? Luckily, no.
minus-square@CarbonatedPastaSaucelinkEnglish2•5 months agoYeah I have no doubt they are strong enough, many animals are. I was just wondering if that stat had a story behind it! Thanks.
