Raptors: Earth's Apex Aerial Predators


Listen Later

The dinosaurs aren't dead—they just took to the skies.


In this episode, we explore the supreme predators of the air: the raptors. These finely tuned aerial hunters have mastered the art of flight, boasting eyesight three times sharper than a human's and talons as sharp as daggers.


From the mountains of Eurasia to the plains of Africa, there is no time of day when the ground is safe from these sky masters.
