    The views exceed the likes now.

    You aren’t implying this is a hoax, are you? Pretty good work if it is.

    At first I had my doubts, but after watching it in slow mo… that kid was in the air!

    But since the camera was “cut” away from the eagle while he was running, it could have been a trained bird and the bait replaced by a “kid”.

    It’s possible it was set up…just sayin.

    ‘course I’m just po’ed I didn’t capture it.

    Did you notice the big cartoon eyes on the kid’s knit cap? Kind of like the exagerated eyes on a fishing lure and they probably helped to draw the eagle to him. Good thing the kid wasn’t a pound or two lighter…..

    I was thinking we should just create no birds of prey fly zones. That should protect the innocent.

    I seem to recall the last time this subject was getting airtime (maybe 10 years ago? ) that some researcher did some testing and calculated that an eagle would only be able to carry a 10 pound weight about 50 yards if it was on a downslope hill. Looks like a downslope in this video as well.

    We occasionally have owls and hawks in the area and that makes me keep an eye open with the ankle biters when I let them out.

    2 of them are probably safe. They aren’t going to go after a 25# pug. and the female pom weighs about 10#s, she’s safe. However, the little guy kind of looks like the size of a rabbit.

    The poms probably would be safe because of their fur, but those talons could do a lot of damage in the right place.

    There are many historical accounts of Eagles taking young
    animals and even attacking small children on the praries during the Westward Movement of the pioneers… Thats why they were shot on sight during that time… almost to extinction.
    They are the apex predators in the sky…

    when you see a golden eagle next to a bald eagle you realize just how big these guys get.

    Its all but been confirmed as a hoax. The best video I saw was they isolated and zoomed in on the bird/kid when it is trying to carry the kid away. There are a few frames where the kid magically seems to be hovering in the air.

    hoax or no hoax
    we can’t risk the safety of the children
    a law must be passed which establishes public parks as “Eagle Free Zones”
