Sometimes all it takes is looking at things from a different perspective. 

With the hype surrounding animal attacks, snake sightings, and bird phenomenons, it is no wonder that fears are born. 

But this video is certainly one that shows the positive side of how things can go with an encounter in the wild...

A man who is paragliding and videoing his experience comes across a black vulture. 

Just looking at things from his perspective is amazing, but then something even more amazing happens. 

The bird decides to join him on his ride and lands on his feet...

We discovered that there is an activity that is called Parahawking, which actually involves paragliding with falconry. 

The birds are actually trained to ride with paragliders. So as much as this looked like a chance encounter, we think it may have been a trained occurrence. 

So don't go chasing vultures...
