i wondered where my dog went

It's a Golden Eagle. Here's a long version of it. It throwsa goat off a cliff in one.

OK, I have just been officially boggled.
Sure, I thought to myself, this eagle is gonna grab a field mouse. Boy was I in for a shock.
The music makes it all the more menacing and creepy.
Damn!

BAAAH RAMM YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

Impressive for a bird.

Holy shit. That's one strong, hungry bird.

y'know, that actually looked quite fun.

The caption says, UNBELIEVABLE FOOTAGE, but I believe it.

Thumbs down for this comment.

damn.......that reminds me of jeepers creepers!!!

damn! i want one of them fuckers for thanks giving. imagine how much muscle is on that drumstick! ps. i know the eagle is our national mascot, so no bashing please. just a frikin joke.

I love the 'horrified mountain goat' sound that someone blatantley put in. I had to hear it again just to make sure i didnt dream it!

HAHA! I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME THAT NOTICED! I WAS ALSO EXPECTING THUNDER SOUNDS AS THE EAGLE FLEW AWY!

So was it a bird catching a mountain kid, or a sci-fi movie? I can't tell from the music..

I hope an eagle never takes a shit on me. Pigeons are bad enough.

I saw one of those from the road, I thought it was a friggin' wooden fence post, 'til it flew!

why the fuck couldnt this have happend to frodo and sam when they climbed the mountains of mordor!!!!!!!!

....any chance of a revenge vid here at all??? Would love to think that when it lands, the would be dinner goes all Chuck Norris on the Eagle and kicks it to death!

Isn't there enough crappy music in the muslim killing for allah videos.
mercifully the talons on that bird are like meat hooks and killed the kid before its ride to the dinner table.

Wow that eagle got alot of manpower respect :-)

So THAT's why all those 'innocent goat farmers' we see on Apache guncams have to carry AK47s.

fucking amazing! I love nature..

I believe this bird beast to be a white bellied sea eagle, check out a close up @ http://www.flickr.com/pho tos/rogerdeng/166357434/ or http://www.flickr.com/pho tos/ezee123/163164538/
The sea-eagles are a group of birds of prey in the genus Haliaeetus in the bird of prey family Accipitridae.
Sea-eagles vary in size, from the Sanford's Fish-eagle averaging 2–2.7 kg to the huge Steller's Sea-eagle weighing up to 9 kg. At up to 6.9 kg, the White-tailed Eagle is the largest eagle in Europe. Bald Eagles can weigh up to 6.3 kg, making them the second largest eagle native to North America. The White-bellied Sea-eagle can weigh up to 3.4 kg.
There are eight living species:
White-bellied Sea-eagle (H. leucogaster)
Sanford's Sea-eagle (H. sanfordi)
African Fish-eagle (H. vocifer)
Madagascar Fish-eagle (H. vociferoides)
Pallas's Fish-eagle (H. leucoryphus)
White-tailed Eagle (H. albicilla)
Bald Eagle (H. leucocephalus)
Steller's Sea-eagle (H. pelagicus)
Three obvious species pairs exist; White-tailed and Bald Eagles, Sanford's and White-bellied Sea-eagle, and the African and Madagascar Fish-eagles. Each of these consists of a white- and a tan-headed species, and the tails are entirely white in all adult Haliaeetus except Sanford's, White-bellied, and Pallas's.
Haliaeetus is possibly one of the oldest genera of living birds. A distal left tarsometatarsus (DPC 1652) recovered from early Oligocene deposits of Fayyum, Euzbakistan (Jebel Qatrani Formation, c.33 mya) is similar in general pattern and some details to that of a modern sea-eagle. The genus was present in the middle Miocene (12-16 mya) with certainty.
Their closest relatives are the fishing-eagles in the genus Ichthyophaga, very similar to the tropical Haliaeetus species. The relationships to other genera in the family are less clear; they have long been considered closer to the genus Milvus (kites) than to the true eagles in the genus Aquila on the basis of their morphology and display behaviour, more recent genetic evidence agrees with this, but points to them being related to the genus Buteo (buzzards) as well, a relationship not previously thought close.
The origin of the sea-eagles and fishing-eagles is probably in the general area of the Bay of Bengal. During the Eocene/Oligocene, as the Indian subcontinent slowly collided with Eurasia, this was a vast expanse of fairly shallow ocean; the initial sea-eagle divergence seems to have resulted in the four tropical (and Southern Hemisphere subtropical) species found around the Indian Ocean today. The Central Asian Pallas's Sea-eagle's relationships to the other taxa is more obscure; it seems closer to the three Holarctic species which evolved later and may be an early offshoot of this northward expansion; it does not have the hefty yellow bill of the northern forms, retaining a smaller darker beak like the tropical species.
The rate of molecular evolution in Haliaeetus is fairly slow, as is to be expected in long-lived birds which take years to successfully reproduce. In the mtDNA cytochrome b gene, a mutation rate of 0.5-0.7% per million years (if assuming an Early Miocene divergence) or maybe as little as 0.25-0.3% per million years (for a Late Eocene divergence) has been shown.
A 2005 molecular study showed the genus is paraphyletic and subsumes Ichthyophaga; the species diverging into a temperate and tropical group.
Which species do you think this beast is? Bird species are best identified by their faeces. And on that note.....

what's with all the copy paste?

Yes copy & pasting from Wikipedia.

And mom doesn't believe an eagle can grab her cat...

He was just trying to impress a female
YEa lookat my meat its huge

do the eagle's have large talons?

wow that was kool,he should have dropped him and then enjoyed a feast of flat sheep

that was the coolest thing i have seen in a while.

yes very large i can supply you with further details if you so desire?

I appreciated the info!

Don't let your baby go on the family picnic!

ok, Maybe that bird CAN grab a small dog like that one (a fox maybe???) but like hell it can actually eat it, if anything it would just piss off the dog/fox/small cow and get hurt. Awesome video none the less.

Its talons or claws are like swiss blades and your dog's body would be going limp just like this lamb/goat.

impressiv

DELETED

is that a picture of hayfa?

mommy eagle is gonna give daddy eagle some good pussy tonight!

that pray looked like he waz enjoying the ride.......weeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee

I'd be temped to ask if its for real except these birds have been known to take small children.Parents of small fry, watch the skies!

Omg, poor goat, this video is by far the most barbaric video on this site for a long time

Huh................birds eh.

well DA

I hate birds. We should kill em all and eat them. Fried chicken anyone?

K-Fed, you suck

That’s a big bird, but I’ve seen a lot bigger, it must have been about 5 or 6 feet tall bright yellow and I don’t think it could fly, saw it on Sesame Street

Reminds me of that one video where that eagle totally owns that sloth and rips him off the tree branch.

That was set-up.

The goat had some free air-miles it needed to use up.

muffdemon-care to expand on that?
NNOOOOOO PLEASE ! JUST FUKIN KIDIN
HAVE A BEER - PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE MANY !!!!

Note to self; take wife rock climbing

wouldnt do me anygood as my g/f wouldnt shut up long enough for the bird to grab her

liacon - you're my new hero - got room for another wife on that trip ???BEERS TO YOU, BUD

i love my wife too much for her to get hurt gaggg me fur sure

beast

thats a big ass eagle

Dude, so bong toking isn't enough for you, damn

what can I say. I like to party!

I wonder if footage like this inspired the legends of the "Thunderbirds" ....not the cars mind you, rather massive birds that were reported to have been able to easily hoist children and adults away in one talon.
Also I'm thinking this could be a basis for the mythical Roc, which was supposed to have been able to carry elephants away in its talons

fake! i can totaly see the string on the bird

@Videowatcher - I agree, I'd like to know where the clip came from? There are way too many camera angles, the audio is too precise. The area is too remote to have captured everything seen just by chance.

@IamVarholy - I too wonder. Most raptors kills these days are made with the impact. I strongly believe this was staged. Where is the clip from?

looks like a golden to me
rocky mts. perhaps?

lmao the duded comment about the girl wieghing 110 pounds is right

fucking hell, that thing is strong

Timmer - A Condor?

I dont think so
They're really ugly birds, and extremly rare.
But Iam sure a fully grown condor could have
gained altitude with that prey, 6ft wing span!

Oh yeah.. they are right here in Colorado.... They take away all those silly anorexic joggers on every Monday Wednesday and Fridays --- and definitely this Thursday because it is Thanksgiving!!!

thats why they're called California Condors
I aways wondered about that

I thought that was a Golden"Snatched Your Retriever" Eagle??? I thought Condors were just big and ugly... Trust me after several beers one night, I think I had accidentially slept with a California Condor... LOL

^^^^LMFAO
Very impressive, can you introduce us?

Oh she isn't wolf ugly -- where you chew your arm off in the morning to get away...
oh hell no...
wished she was that ugly... noooo....
She is Condor ugly -- she had already chewed off my arms for me... I am typing with my toes now!!!!

Another impressive feat! That seems to be going
rather well for ya. Its a good thing shes on the job.
You know, for that other thing ya cant do with your feet. -

wowzeers!

Hypothetically, say that thing were to land on you and try to pick you up as a meal. What's to stop you from ringing its skinny neck like a chickens?

Looks like a Golden Eagle. Those mofos are HUGE. Birds of prey have powerful talons and I'm not surprised at all that this eagle could carry off a meal that big. Golden Eagles and some smaller raptors have indeed been known to make off with people's small pet dogs.

Krasivaya ptichka)) sebe b takuyu vmesto popugaychika))

poor goat.RIP.

FAKE. Goats don't go meeeh with a human voice.

HMM I think I'm gonna buy an Eagle saddle and ride that thing to work. Probably cut 45 minutes off commute.

and gas

Damn gotta bring that eagle to the club, help pick up some women.

Damn at first I thought it had grabbed that girl with the broken leg from the other vid You know, weeding out the sick and feeble and all that....

complete BULLSHIT, the goat is either dead or is really enjoying the ride , utter BULLSHIT!!!!

Feel sorry for the goat must've been having a really shit day.
"First I get separteted from the tour group, and then get stuck up the side of the mountain. There's some weird guy filming me from multiple camera angles and then I get dragged off to be eaten by some fat bird"
Hmmm... maybe the birds could be trained though to help people - like giving that running girl with the broken leg a lift?

maybe you could get a life? maybe not

Russian nazi bald eagle, taking its victim to the boys waiting on the tube

puts into perspective how big an eagle really is.

He was just picking up his buddy from work...

If an eagle catches you slippin it's time to go

DELETED

I guess the eagle you're talking about is hiding behind that big red spot, huh?

there is another part to this where it drops it off a cliff...its pretty badass

Now that was awesome.
-
I saw only about 3 months ago a Wedge Tail Eagle take a Young emu (But was still double it's size) right in front of me....freaked me out because the Eagle flew right past my head.
-
I love these animals.

gud

Alas, if only McDonald's could be as good as that.

Fuck thats incredible

Huh...the cameraman is flat amazing running around getting all those shots from wildly different perspectives as this once-in-a-lifetime spontaneous event evolves...almost like it was set-up and planned...huh. Yup. Un-fucking-believable is right.
