This footage shows a massively dented parked car after a vulture fell out of the sky and landed right on top of it.
The incident took place in front of the Guaruja City Hall in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, on Friday, 20th December.
The footage shows the car roof with a massive dent in it and the windscreen nearly completely smashed after the bird hit it.
The video also shows the bird lying lifelessly on top of the vehicle.
Local officials said it was currently unclear what caused the bird to fall from the sky.
One woman at the scene said: “You can’t even explain this to the insurance company.”
She added: “I’ve never seen this. A vulture falling from the sky.”
Ornithologist Bruno Lima told local media that the animal was a black vulture (Coragyps atratus), which is native to the United States and South America.
Lima explained that there was another dead vulture found nearby and said it was possible the two were fighting before they fell from the sky to their deaths.
