Watch this: Golden Eagle Snatches Kid, Almost Gets Away With The Kid [WTF] (Updated)
WTF?! This looks like the real deal. A family almost loses their kid to a golden eagle at a park in Montreal. They were lucky the eagle decided to drop the baby a few meters away.
According to accounts, golden eagles have been known to knock mountain goats off cliffs, plunging them to their deaths to later feed on them. A human walking on a narrow mountain path can suffer the same fate they say. The Philippine eagle has also been reported to lift a small pig and a small dog.
Phil says the video is fake!
HOLY CRAP!!!
ReplyDeleteHoax.
DeleteWow! That was awesome. Just like in The Hobbit! jk

ReplyDeleteGay.
ReplyDeleteWow, unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteYes people, birds come in different sises including pretty fucking big. This shit is getting powerfully irrelevant. We had an article about cows, then an article about Bobo, followed by an article about the Hobbit, and now a bird article. Well I suppose it's still better than another “wild man in the 19th century” article from the bigfoot chicks.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that. That shits getting old!!!
DeleteHilarious and all true
DeleteThanks Shawn!! You made my day!
ReplyDeleteUn freaking believable ! I never would have known this to happen before. Where was this taken ?
ReplyDelete^ my guess based on the accent Quebec or Montreal Canada : )
DeleteWow, that was a great guess, considering the text of the post indicates that the incident occurred in Montreal.
DeleteLol : ) hadent read the post : ) just thought I recognized the accent I lived out that way for awhile you think the Eagles are bad just try crossing the street out there : )
DeleteThats why eagles should always be kept in Jars! : )
ReplyDeleteGreat job of capturing the ground for 90% of the video.
ReplyDeleteGiven that the incident occurred in Canada, it was definitely appropriate to use the measurement of meters rather than feet or yards, but you should know that the correct spelling of the term is "metres."
ReplyDeleteGo metric your mom you dick sucker. Why don't you come down here to the states and start talking shit, that way when an American shoots your trash talking ass the news will report that you were shot with a FORTY FIVE CALIBER handgun instead of 11.43x28mm.
DeleteHey !!! Here we use the two : We are smart emough, it must be very complicated for you to learn both. I understand......
Deleteenough...sorry. I realy like this blog. the people have such smart thing to say.......very sad.
DeleteI saw Neil Peart walk by in the background!
ReplyDeleteRush sucks!
DeleteRush is generally regarded as one of the greatest prog rock bands in history and they have many millions of fans throughout the world. But I do acknowledge that musical tastes are inherently subjective and respect your opinion. What bands or music do you enjoy?
DeleteI'm not Anon 11:23, but I question your statement that “Rush is generally regarded as one of the greatest prog rock bands in history”. Generally regarded infers that that is an opinion which most people share, which I find highly dubious. Rush is an extremely divisive rock band. People tend to love it or hate it. I'm one of the few that has no strong opinion one way or the other, but I don't think that they are generally regarded as great. The Beatles were generally regarded as famous, Beethoven is generally regarded as dead, but Rush isn't generally regarded as anything.
DeleteAnon-11:56 obviously has never seen Rush live.
DeleteIgnorant dumbass...
2:59, you are correct. Among musicians, Rush is absolutely regarded as one of the greats. You don't have to like it, but Rush does deserve respect.
DeleteI am 11:23 and as a musician myself I agree that the members of Rush are highly talented and skilled musicians. Unfortunately the sum of these ultra talented parts doesn't make music of equal caliber. Therefore I contend that other "bands" with less talented parts and true synergy are superior because they are easier on the ears. That's too long to type so "Rush Sucks" is officially my short response.
DeleteWhose Rush anyway?
DeleteIt's some Canadian band. I think they wrote a song called Tom Sawyer, and maybe freewill or something like that. They also wrote some shit called 2112 which was like Ziggy Stardust meets Dogs by Pink Floyd except that it sucked.
DeleteStewart Copeland kicks Neil Pearts ass every time !
DeletePeter Allen, Barry maleno and all the rockers.
ReplyDeleteI remember my first beer.
DeleteNinth...
ReplyDeleteTenth someone explain to me why the motions of the child don't match up with his surroundings. I'm an idiot and I'm not seeing what he is talking about.

ReplyDeleteWasn't snowing in Montreal on the 18th when this event was supposed to have taken place.
I look forward to Piers Morgan calling for tougher Eagle Control Laws.
ReplyDeleteFake--If you center on the baby's legs as it's lifted you can see the jerky motion of CGI--
ReplyDeleteIf you translate this site you'll see that it was a student animation project. Fake.

What would we do without Phil? Phil can you discredit the 911 footage or the Zapruder film next?
ReplyDeleteFake or not, golden eagles are the largest of all raptors. The are more than capable of taking a baby. Watch "Planet Earth" and you can see golden eagles in Mongolia taking out prey much larger than a human baby.
ReplyDeleteI must correct myself, golden eagles are AMONG the largest raptors, (Andean Condors/other condors/vultures and a few eagles-Harpy eagles, Stellar Eagles, Phillipine Eagles to name a few) can be larger, but they are all HUGE to say the least. I think that golden eagles have white on the tail and underside of the wing if at all, not on the top though, I could be wrong on that though because there are several sub-species of golden eagle.
DeleteOnce last point...Golden eagles are a favorite in falconry. I have heard of golden eagles used to hunt small deer, wolves and other 'large' prey by Asian falconers. Although I haven't seen this in practice it seems feasible.
DeleteA ten year old boy was picked up a large bird and carried for 30 yards in Lawndale, Illinois in 1977.
