Awesome youtube video of an eagle besting a mountain goat.

After the live eaglecam post I got to youtubing eagles. This is jaw dropping stuff.

Makes you wonder about the old claims of children being carried off my large birds of prey.
I suppose you can update the old saying... it's not the fall eagle that kills you it's the sudden stop at the bottom. 8O

Wow.
I was all ready, sitting back in my chair charring the recently packed bowl in order to relax and watch this video. Needless to say, charring the bowl just prior to playing the video is as far as I got.

Most definitely Lawrence.

Now that just blows me away! It seems that I've underestimated bird intelligence and foresight to a considerable degree.

Now we have to be afraid to go out onto the mountains haha! 8O

Technically not mountain goats. These are sheep, or maybe chamois.

Wonder if I can talk the ex into taking up mountain climbing?
