Experience the untold story of Europe's most legendary predator! 🦅<br /><br />The White-tailed Sea Eagle - once revered by Vikings as a mythological companion, later branded as a "pest and killer" - was completely extinct in Denmark for over 100 years. The last pair was shot in 1912. Today, thanks to pioneers like Eagleworld's founder, over 37 pairs soar again across Danish skies.<br /><br />✨ This mini-documentary reveals:<br /><br />- Viking Legacy: How sea eagles lived alongside Vikings as mythological symbols of power<br /><br />- The Dark Years: Early 1900s persecution when "there was no respect for wild animals"<br /><br />- Anatomical Marvel: 5-6cm razor-sharp talons that can pierce through large prey<br /><br />- Lightning Attacks: Hunt at speeds up to 150 km/h with surprise precision<br /><br />- From Chick to Champion: 5-year journey from 90-gram fluffball to apex predator<br /><br />- Eagleworld's Mission: 40+ years saving raptors from Scandinavian extinction<br /><br />- Modern Threats: Ongoing battles against poisoning and illegal shooting<br /><br />🎯 Witness the incredible hunting prowess: Massive 2.5-meter wingspan gliding effortlessly for kilometers, ax-like beak designed for both delicate feeding and powerful strikes, and the patience to wait for the perfect moment to strike at 150 km/h.<br /><br />📍 Behind the scenes at Eagleworld, North Jutland - Meet Nøkke and Jette's descendants, the rescued Norwegian eagles whose bloodline now spans three generations, proving that dedicated conservation can bring legends back to life.<br /><br />The bond between humans and these "amazing aviators" runs deeper than hunting - it's about preserving the most beautiful animals on our planet for the next 100 years.<br /><br />🌿 Support my work: https://ko-fi.com/marcskjoedt<br /><br />Welcome to my channel!
