1. And in other news,

   Sylvester still couldn’t eat that Tweety bird

2. that's a tough bird

3. I'm not overly impressed with this cat's hunting technique. Domestic cats can pretty much do the exact same thing.

4. That's incredibly athletic

5. Now who is going to tell me that that's Evolution. That's what you call Design!

6. Nice camera

7. My house cat caught birds in mid flight all the time

8. What's with that man made pond of water? It just a miracle a fesh water pond appears in the middle of the dessert.

9. 2:46 The cat is still in go mode even with his paw on the bird. I think he is anticipating the bird's excape to counteract it. This was a good show..jolly good show.

10. Bruh this thing got sharingan or something

11. Fantastic footage, but contrast the Smithsonian soundscape of pseudo-technical dings, dongs and beeps, as well as intense music with the BBC's usual calm voice, poignant presentation and realistic commentary. After all, this is more a snack than a meal.

12. I think that one bird putting up such a fight was helping the others escape.

13. My cat did this in the back yard…. yawn

14. That camera work

15. RIP little bird, should have fly up instead of just forward.

16. Don't be reincarnated into anything

17. Funny that the cat catches 1 bird and the narrator says a few lucky birds have escaped the cats grasp .

18. I’m glad I’m human with with awareness

19. Thats how i get girls?

20. shrek eared cat

21. خلق ليفترس . سبحان الله

23. Amazing!

24. This is so educational

26. Cat looked to have burned many caleries catching that bird

27. 2:48 that's check mate

28. I would actually watch this show more if it weren't for the extremely corny and dramatic break downs of everything… just let us watch it

29. 2:37 "In this game of cat and bird, there can only be a one winner"
    Bro, any game has only one winner…what point u r making

30. Hey Smithsonian. God's design is amazing huh ?

31. Eating meat is evil!

33. Birds are puny.
    That cat will need at least two or the more today.
    Maybe a lizard or two,some grasshoppers.

34. how fast he was…if i would be that fast…surely i may be bruce lee

35. That Animation! ??

36. Must be a nightmare trying to get to sleep

37. The caracals speed, agility and highly maneuverable and sensitive ears are a brilliant feat of engineering which is a wonder to behold. The processing power required to capture a bird in flight like this would challenge our most advanced supercomputer guiding a robot, orders of magnitude more advanced than any existing device available, all assembled in a small neat package. In a word miraculous.
