Golden Eagles hunting wolves.

Did you have a furry coat on at the time?

 

well i'm rarely seen without my teddy outfit on but had to lower my head and back away.. at first i was like 'who's a pretty boy then?' then it made me a bit uneasy. a bit like the field of bulls i was working in last month, first jump in and chase them all away with a branch.. then they wander back to eat the fallen branches, this time the big one doesn't run away, its eyes went a bit bloodshot and it held its ground. i'm still alive which means i ran away like a sissy girl:blushing:

Have a search for the haast eagle now extinct from nz. These huge birds could carry moa away- The moa was the size of an ostrich.

had a golden eagle on my arm once, in a local wildlife park (the one anna ryder richardson runs now) the guy told me that the eagle would soon start squeezing my arm knowing that it would get a bit of meat, when it did start squeezing with its talons OMG made my arm feel like a matchstick, would hate to be hit by one at speed

Excellent vid.....

 

My Yorkshire Terrier would have done the eagle though......

Their wingspan is just huge, if it could take down a wolf, im sure it could take down a man? Sod using police helicopters, get your golden eagles out for the convicts, no fuel, food for the bird lol
