Video: Eagle drags goats off cliff

[Book of Jeremiah]

This is the film footage of a golden eagle waging war against goats who are on his territory. The eagle drags and drops the goats one by one off the cliff. He then lures the ones hiding in the crags of the mountain to the edge of cliff and later swoops in. Amazing footage captured on film.


Here's a lesson for the goats. Don't hunt for what you can't kill.

 

[Capstone]

Yeah, but look at what a goat can do to paper ... (possibly even to thin-ass sheets with gilded edges)!

 

[RodISHI]

I'll take that as a good sign since it has not been too long ago Eagles were starving and their numbers declining.

Reminds me of the stories of line workers finding deer hanging on the electric transmission wires and not being sure how they got up there.

 

[Pogo]

As a Capricornian I find this offensive.

 

[OldLady]

Mama and Papa Eagle will do whatever it takes to keep enemies away from her hatchlings. Goats don't hunt, by the way.

Eagles' territory is not to be trifled with.

Ask this guy how it worked out when he did it....

What on earth was he doing with an eagle in his office?
Apt symbolism, though.

And for those sad about the dead goat here is one that will cheer you up....sort of....maybe...just weird

Just think what the eagle might have done if he had like normal-sized fingers.

Gotta love that look on his face as he exits stage right. We'll see that look again in November.

Consider the source. Jeri doesn't believe in such midieval (or older) superstitions. Her KJV Bible is her only guide.

I guess you've been through this before with the virgins....

Territorial war? It looked like the eagles were preying on the goats.

I saw footage some years ago of eagles hunting turtles. They pick them and drop them on rocks.

Eagles are clever.

!!!! We have lots of bald eagles around here--they will take a cat or a small dog, but I've never heard of them lifting a deer (I'm guessing it's a faun). Are golden eagles a lot bigger than bald eagles?

They "hunt" and eat vegetation. Are you telling me they have to KILL it?

Yeah it was a small deer. Have no idea about the eagle thing. I have seen print stories along these same lines but that just happened to be one I found with a video.

I'm dying to know how the goat got up there. Glad he was okay.
