minus-squarepivot_root@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·edit-22 months agoGators have learned well: don’t fuck with the evolved dinosaurs. Shrikes impale their prey on metal fence posts.

minus-squarepivot_root@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 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.
