Over the recent days, a video surfaced on the internet featuring a dramatic incident involving a kitten inside a car.
The owner captured the unsettling moment when a hawk attempted to attack the small kitten, only to be thwarted by the protective windshield.
Gabriel M, who shared the footage on his YouTube channel, has witnessed a surge in popularity. The video has garnered over 1.3 million views, prompting online users to emphasize the potential dangers faced by kittens and puppies when outdoors.
Based on the video footage, it appears that the kitten inside the car faced an attack from a red-tailed hawk, a member of the cormorant family. This bird is renowned as one of the largest in North America and is widely distributed across the region. The incident likely involved a less experienced female hawk, given her youth and less developed hunting skills.
Witness the video captured in Ladera Heights, Los Angeles, depicting a red-tailed hawk attacking a kitten inside a car. Thankfully, the kitten was safeguarded by the windshield, ensuring its safety.
