Since we don't have a forum here (yet) on "When animals attack" - I thought I would put this GOLDEN EAGLE picking trying to take a CHILD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9feAQtgX1fw) here.:eek:
Some of the comments are awesome...I especially liked the one about the Eagles picking up Hobbits in the LOR movies :D
Maybe people should rethink dressing their infants and toddlers in clothing that looks like prey...

The shadow moves out of frame rather than disappear. I'm not convinced it's a fake on that evidence.

From the comments:
Thorondor: Frodo, you're needed at the battle of...hang on, you're not Frodo.
Father: Oh god, my baby!
Thorondor: My bad. *drop*
HILARIOUS!

I was hunting a few years ago in Nevada. I saw a black object on the side of a hill I was climbing. From a distance, I thought it was a bear cub. As I got closer, it spread its wings and took off. It was an effing HUGE golden eagle.!!! It could easily have pecked up a baby that size. I'm not saying that the video is real, but it could happen... Jus' sayin'...

As it has been noted, the video was produced with computer generated imagery:

It was done at Montreal's Centre NAD by students in a matter of weeks, for the purpose of their degree. Pretty well done.
While not a human baby, this Golden managed to snatch a baby deer:

I remember seeing this one years ago. The sheep are bigger than the child from the hoax video. Granted, they drop the sheep more times than not so it's usually the fall that kills them. Still, it's pretty damn impressive. :eek:

I'm trying to teach a condor to fetch Hooters waitresses.
They're not as smart as they look though.
The condors, not the waitresses.;)
