That,s one slow-flappin’ eagle!
Which one? ....the real one or the 1908 movie version?
I don’t know why the bird let the kid go. He was gaining altitude and could clearly carry the load.
Maybe he was an underemployed eagle that and he didnt want the responsibility
He was gaining altitude and could clearly carry the load.
I watched a film of an eagle killing a baby deer. He picked him up and let him fall several times to kill him. I’m sure the deer was heavier than this baby.
I think the kid’s mom probably scared it and a good thing she did before it gained any more altitude.
The baby probably just felt “not right” to him. It didn’t smell like food—think of the smell of human baby, with powder, laundry softener, diaper, baby poop, and lotions—and the crackling of the disposable diaper is not consistent with typical eagle prey, and had clothes instead of fur, and it just didn’t register like a rabbit or chihuahua. he might have just thought, “WTH, all these humans are screaming, this is more trouble than it’s worth. I’m gonna go find me a Yorkie to snack on.”
What’s with the swearing in English? Get your own damn curse words!
Good lord....lucky baby
Someone toss that eagle a yorkie would ya?
Boy, I bet the FWS was PO’d at him!
LOL - you both posted yorkies at the same time. (My neighbor has TWO of the yappie little b______ I wouldn’t mind donating).
I bet that cute little red hat with the goofy eyeballs attracted the eagle somehow.
“Whale Oil Beef Hooked”.
The 1908 one.
In that 1908 version, they were lucky that someone had left that long rope on the ground and already tied to a tree.
lol
Otherwise, it was pretty good, considering when it was made.
Kid had a parka on, probably didn’t latch onto the skin and only had some jacket in the talons, that kids guardian angels were working overtime.
