15 Most Deadly Eagle Attacks In The World

there's really nothing in the world that this vicious raptor won't attack yeah it's true the eagle is a fearsome bird of prey but they're also recognized as a symbol of strength and power all across the world the majestic bald eagle was even the national bird of the united states due to its links to authority and statehood [Music] if you've ever witnessed a deadly attack from this big bird you'll know the majestic eagle lives up to its impressive reputation from eagles that will strike a fully grown grizzly bear to the ill-fated bird that decided to wrestle with an octopus these are the 15 most deadly eagle attacks in the world golden eagles hunt mongolian foxes in kazakh ancient tradition hunters have long used golden eagles to help them snare mongolian foxes wolves and marmots as the old story goes once a boy reaches the age of 13 and is strong enough to carry the weight of a great golden eagle they will search high and low often on the edge of rugged cliffs for a young and usually female eagle known as a balapan and take it from its nest as soon as it's captured the bird will undergo vigorous training the bird and the boy forging a lifelong bond they will develop a close relationship that allows them to hunt together effectively and efficiently and some hunters even talk about their precious egos as if it were their child these ancient ego hunters are nomadic and will typically move around three times per year within the altai mountains it's pretty common to see the traditional hunters wearing the furs of the prey that their eagles have caught with wolf and foxfur considered excellent trophies as well as essential gear for surviving the harsh winters now let's get ready for today's missing topic while we're on the topic take a look at this epic image it really is an awesome sight this majestic gold eagle is spreading its huge wings in anticipation of an aerial attack this poor little goat really doesn't stand a chance dangerously teetering on the side of sheer rock face this little goat has no idea of the danger that awaits him it looks as though this awesome photo was snapped in the rocky mountains in the united states and the crazy height of this chasm makes us think that this perilous pick could be the work of a drone while we aren't too sure where this astonishing photo originally came from we have to confess that it makes us feel a little dizzy that's a long way down so what do you think of this egoverse goat encounter join the conversation using hashtag missingtopic in the comments below eagle drops mountain goat off a cliff from one unfortunate goat to another this unlucky goat takes an exhilarating plummet to the ground when it's filmed falling to its untimely demise down the side of a sheer rock face it's a good thing mountain goats aren't afraid of heights huh now mountain goats are famous for being quick nimble and able to navigate terrain where their predators can't however the eagle rains the sky leaving this shaking creature with nowhere to turn the goat's deadly descent seems to last forever however the eagle is patient while gravity does all the work for them carrying goats and flying at the same time nah that's way too much work instead the eagle swoops to the ground where a ready-made goat meat feast is already waiting we bet eagles like their steaks rare [Music] marshall eagle catches warthog now on to an adorable creature the baby warthog ah warthogs i know what you're thinking a certain pumbaa from the lion king perhaps that only makes this eagle attack all the more horrific even the poor baby's family can't take the risk of wrestling with this giant eagle leaving the infant warthog helpless in the bird of prey's grip we suppose that's what they call the circle of life this particularly gruesome incident was captured in south africa's famous kruger park where tourists travel from all over the world to take safari tours and get up close to all the awesome animals you can only usually see from behind a cage in a zoo in this case a real-life marshall eagle meal time was caught on film marshall eagles are native to sub-saharan africa and are astonishingly powerful in fact a martial eagle can knock a grown man off its feet and has enough power in one foot to break your arm oh we can see why the rest of the warthogs family ran away have any of you guys ever been on a safari if so what was the craziest thing you saw we'd love to know now moving on to our next victim hawk and domestic cat if you're a cat owner you might want to look away these poor pets have fallen foul of a bloodthirsty raptor the hungry hawk yup this avian assault is every pet owner's nightmare but luckily they can be avoided experts recommend not to leave bird seed out in your garden in case you attract any savage visitors they also say you should keep your pet food indoors instead of leaving it in the yard and to build enclosed cat runs so that your kitty can enjoy the outside while safely sheltered from wild eagle attacks when there is a carnivorous bird with a seven foot wingspan on the loose you really don't want to take any chances back in 2011 a hawk actually snatched up two small dogs from a boston backyard before eventually dropping them from a great height and inflicting serious injuries to the poor pooches then in 2013 another hawk poached a petrified 10 year old pomeranian from beach island in south carolina never to be seen again make sure you keep those cats and dogs inside if there's an eagle soaring the skies above your house no animal is safe golden eagles hunting hair a golden eagle in scotland spies some white mountain hairs in the valleys below and makes its move this aggressive attack is classic golden eagle behavior and the innocent little bunny rabbit simply doesn't stand a chance as white fur is scattered along the ground the eagle has found an easy target in fact the rabbit is the eagle's main food source it was once thought that golden eagles feasted on sheep and goats and ranchers would kill these majestic birds in their thousands however this was later proven to be nothing more than a myth and in 1962 the species became federally protected much to the disappointment of rabbits everywhere while golden eagles can hunt effectively during the day thanks to their amazing sight they actually don't see that well at night oh and they can only rotate their heads a freaky 270 degrees to look all the way around just like an owl these eagles really have seen it all raptors attacking people think you're safe from the deadly talents of an eagle just because you're a human ah think again there have been plenty of eagle vs man encounters and each one is as chilling as the next in france a trained air force eagle deployed to pull enemy drones out of the sky and it actually attacked a five-year-old girl dressed in white when they mistook her for a flying device the awful incident happened in a mountain pass in the pyrenees where four small children and an adult were having a pleasant picnic a wedge-tailed eagle that was part of a birds of prey show launched itself at a small boy gripping his head with his talons instead of landing on a perch as it had been trained when you consider the wedgetail is australia's largest bird of prey that's a seriously scary day at the zoo eagle attacks dog dogs may be man's best friend but he is certainly no friend of the eagle all eagles belong to the acts of pituity family and they are highly developed species that are designed to kill that's exactly the kind of predator you would want to keep your precious pooch away from us humans actually have to think in order to grip eagles actually have to think not to grip and it looks like sometimes all eagles want to do is grip a small mammal eagles have a grip ten times as powerful as ours they can usually lift prey that weighs a couple of pounds but the largest types of eagles can lift prey up to around five pounds small dogs beware even if an eagle has been spotted across town you might want to bring your dog in from the backyard their vision is so precise that they can spot a potential meal from up to 3.2 kilometers away they've even been known to dive in front of the sun during their attack so that their prey is blindsided now that's a sneaky tactic ego's fighting coyotes in this mind-blowing encounter a wily coyote moves in at an old wolf kill and confronts a gang of ferocious eagles yikes that's one brave dog an eagle's prey usually consists of small mammals however it looks like they've made an exception in this case this coyote is feeling super brave either that or it's really really hungry the scavenging eagle eats its prey when it's alive although from time to time it will eat it slowly over a number of days these lengthy banquets can attract an unwanted diner such as this coyote leaving the eagle with no choice but to defend their kill the moral of the story don't come between an eagle and its dinner eagle attacks grizzly bear we can't believe we're actually witnessing the insane moment that a brazen bald eagle decided to take on one of the most feared animals in north america these bald eagles have really taken their status as the national animal of the united states too seriously just because they're the face of america that doesn't mean that they'll win a fight against the most deadly creature in the states still this bald eagle must have been feeling especially lucky that day as it swoops down and attacks a huge grizzly bear yeah this animal looks seriously annoyed with razor sharp teeth enormous claws and brutal strength you really don't want to mess with the grizzly yet this avian attacker does just that not only are bears extremely aggressive when it comes to protecting their cubs but they also are super fast and can run at a speed of up to 30 miles an hour it's possible this eagle saw this apex predator as a threat to its food source as bald eagles do usually live near coasts and lakes where there are plenty of fish a tasty snack which bears also love to munch on or perhaps the eagle was stealing a fish away from the bear's large paws as the eagles are also well known to steal a kill away from other animals either way this bald eagle must be extremely courageous to pick a fight with an eight-foot 800 pound bear eagles attacking deer and so continues our countdown of deadly attacks this time on a cute and unsuspecting deer minding its own business in the woods this cuddly creature falls foul to the golden eagles sharp talons and powerful wings oh dear this incident took place in the far east of russia and the photos are truly something to behold remote cameras in a nature reserve had been set up by researchers originally to monitor siberian tigers but they managed to capture the deadly moment an aggressive golden eagle took down a seca deer the rare occurrence left wildlife researchers in awe as the eagles have been known to take down small animals snakes and birds but have hardly ever been caught in the act when it comes to a deer golden eagles can reign over an area as large as 60 square miles and they usually do so with a partner they're monogamous and often made for life might sound romantic but probably not for the deer that live in bloodthirsty couples kingdoms of territory hunting prey as large as a deer must be hard work for one eagle so we suppose it's better to share the load eagles chasing drones think animals and small children are the only prey not the case the modern age of technology has only created more hunting opportunities for the eagle no we're not talking about eagles with satnav that would be kinda crazy we're talking about drones yet drones are proving to be a new enemy of the hair-raising raptor with more and more people heading out to fly their drones in nature eagles seem to have had enough of these flying robots and are knocking them clean out of the sky which to be honest makes for great video content but it's not so great for the owner who probably spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on that equipment we can see why an eagle might launch a deadly attack on the drone though after all this winged machine is in their territory and therefore poses a threat to them and let's be real the last thing you want to do to an eagle is threaten it in fact law enforcement in certain countries have started using eagles as counter drone defense training them to take down unauthorized drones hey you never know who's flying that drone but better safe than sorry eagles attacking other birds this epic battle between a canada goose and a bald eagle was captured on film by photographer lisa bell while she was camping on vancouver island what an intense showdown we can't believe that a bald eagle would even attempt to attack a vicious goose we suppose that those sharp talons can do a lot of damage what the goose lacks with its harmless webbed feet it makes up for with sheer brute strength yup canada geese have a fearsome reputation and can become seriously aggressive when it comes to protecting their territory or family the goose has other ideas when it comes to tackling the savage bald eagle and instead chooses to dive under the surface of the water whenever the eagle flies near looks like this tactic really works as the board bald eagle eventually gives up and flies home the struggle is real eagle caught by an octopus this attack is too scary to watch yet we couldn't take our eyes off the screen yet when land meets the sea all bets are off for once on this list of attacks it's the bald eagle that eventually has to be saved by canadian fishermen as the grip of this menacing octopus became more and more deadly this vivid red octopus caused vancouver island its home and from the looks of it does not take kindly to intruders listen we don't know what this eagle was thinking when it made a strike on that mess of tentacles but we can finally announce that the ego has met its match this cephalopod has officially earned its star in the creepy hall of fame whether you're in the ocean or on land or in the sky don't mess with this eight-legged freak eagles stealing prey this thrilling three-way involves a rabbit a fox and of course an eagle when we watched this video we couldn't believe our eyes here's a fox doing what foxes do best hunting rabbits except suddenly the hunter becomes the hunted yup this stunned fox is lifted into the thin air by a fearless eagle while the rabbit still hangs in its mouth that's what we call a bad day for this little bunny the fox hold on to the rabbit for dear life despite the traumatic attack this vixen isn't exactly going to let some bird steal its dinner is it all three animals tussle about 10 feet above the ground in an astonishing display that took place on san juan island in washington imagine food shopping in the grocery store and being picked up out of the sky eventually the fox was dropped to the ground by the weary eagle but it's unclear what happened to the poor bunny we want to know which team are you team rabbit team fox or team eagle let us know in the comments below [Music] harpy eagles hunting monkeys and sloth okay we're just gonna come right out and say it sloths are our favorite which is why this deadly attack is twice as terrifying yeah unfortunately sloths are just easy pickings for eagles as they're slow moving and hang out high up in the branches of trees when you think about it a sloth snack for an eagle is about as easy as reaching your hand into a bag of chips nature is too cruel sometimes what kind of eagle would attack an innocent sloth that would be the harpy eagle the harpy eagle is a neo-tropical bird and the most powerful raptor found in the rain forest it also boasts the largest talons of any living eagle and the ability to carry prey equal its own body weight eek harpy eagles aren't prejudiced towards sloths when it comes to supper oh no they'll grab monkeys out of the treetops too these jungle kings have earned the place of being the national bird of panama and are even depicted on the country's coat of arms national icon or not will never be able to enjoy a cute viral sloth video again thanks a lot harpy eagle wow there's no denying the fact that the mighty eagle is one bold bird so which one of these crazy eagle
