Frantic parents saw in horror and run breathlessly to get their toddler back
and luckily golden eagle failed to hold its prey, the toddler and fell to ground to be in the arms of her parents instead of being preyed upon by the kids of preying master, the deadly hunter. The video posted on youtube shows the horror and glare of luck in parents’ eyes after getting their child back safely.
A massive golden eagle circles a park before swooping down and
appearing to grab a toddler with its claws and trying to fly off with him. The feathered beast, apparently snatches the boy and lifts him a few feet off the ground. Footage then shows the eagle dropping the child, whose name and age are unknown, on the grass a few feet away.
Video of the incident starts with footage of the eagle - with a roughly
six-foot wing span - flying over a public park in Montreal, Canada. But when the eagle swoops down the French-speaking man filming the incident zooms in.
After swearing in English, he races over to comfort the bewildered
child, who starts crying but does not appear to have been seriously hurt.
'A golden eagle tries to snatch a baby in Montreal! What if he got
away with it!?' reads a caption under the video, posted by MrNuclearCat. The video had just 311 views early Wednesday but was making the rounds on Twitter.
'Destined to be huge!' one user wrote. 'Craziest video I've seen in a long
time,' tweeted another.
The golden eagle is the largest bird of prey in North America, and can dive at its quarry at speeds of more than 150 miles per hour, according to the U.S. National Geographic Society.
If the video is real, the eagle probably mistook the toddler for a rabbit, marmot or ground squirrel, its normal prey.
