This fierce beauty is the Secretary Bird, a bird of prey from sub-Saharan Africa with killer kicks and iconic lashes
With legs built for speed and power, the Secretary bird hunts snakes by stomping them with a force of 195 Newtons, enough to kill in milliseconds.
Despite their raptor status, they hunt mostly on foot and can walk up to 30 km a day.
Aggretsuko!
I love the scene where she ax kicks her boss’s desk
legs for days, built-in thighhighssocks?.

Link to the Wikipedia article. It's a featured article*, and there's a subsection that goes over how the species has recently become endangered.
Yeah, the IUCN listed it as vulnerable in 2016 and then endangered in 2020. "As a population, the secretarybird is mainly threatened by loss of habitat due to fragmentation by roads and development and overgrazing of grasslands by livestock." So cars and animal agriculture – both largely unnecessary in modern society – fuck the planet at a micro- and a macroscopic scale. Not surprising, but tragic nonetheless.
I really want to put an appropriately-sized sunhat on their head :)
The cruel and helpful birds from Flow!
This queen should be on the anti "don't tread on me" flag.
"Please tread on me 🥴"
It's giving "distinguished middle aged woman at an art gallery"
Fuck yea, thats such a vibe
Why is the snake tied up?
Secretary bird doesn't want to be fed. He wants to hunt.
I’ve had it with these motherfuckin snakes on this motherfuckin string.
He was begging her for it
Hands and a cigarette holder are missing.
Gaslight, gatekeep, bird boss 💅🏾
I feel I see people mentioning these everywhere after the movie Flow came out.
Well apparently they're known to fuck up a king cobra
Human dinosaur.
