Golden Eagle shows its power

Quick video clip showing a Golden Eagle taking a goat that surely weighs more than it does. It then flies away with it -- amazing stuff.



Enjoy learning about the unexpectedly ginormous power of animals,

Additional clip: for the more sturdy of you -- here is a quick clip of a golden eagle taking a deer in the Czech republic. It's a trained bird being used to hunt.

Oh my G**! Wow! Not as amazing as that, but as we were driving along our creekside road through the shire, a hawk swooped low across the road with a huge live rabbit in his grip. He could barely lift it, but he charged into the trees for a near crash landing with quite a feast! Animals are truly amazing, and ever surprising. Thanks for sharing!!

BP... that video is ridiculous. I'd love to see how they set up for that shot. It's like the bird is a parachute for that goat.

Is that freaking crazy or what!??

You see that he pulls out of the stoop at the end and actually flies with the goat...
