Or fox. It's a great photo, is it not? There's a lot of birds of prey in my area so I worry constantly about my cats. Some of those eagles are huge. A cat would be a mere appetizer. | |||

Fake picture but interesting nonetheless. The eagle's claw don't have a hold on the fox. The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

I WAS Riding my cycle across the lonesome part of Wyoming(hell, it is all that way) and I saw this huge bird down the road in front of me. All of a sudden it took off and was laboring to get into the air with its load. Just couldn't cut it and had to drop as I closed. It was a REALLY BIG Golden Eagle. It appeared to be a car hit antelope calf it was trying to take off with. I know it weighed more than any coyote I have ever seen. NEVER fear the night. Fear what hunts IN the night. | |||

I have a friend that traveled the AL-CAN highway a couple of years ago when he pulled into a service station to get fuel. When there  he witnessed an older fellow putting fuel into his motorhome. His elderly wife was out walking their nip-nip dog when a bald eagle swooped down and nailed the dog, flying away as the older women went into a fit of rage. Funny thing is when Dave looked over at the older gentleman he was pumping his fist like he had just made a touchdown in the Super bowl.The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

Why do you suppose it is a fake picture? I've watched eagles dive on dozens of critters and it looks legit to me.  MG | |||

Perhaps the eagle just let go of the fox. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

this photo was emailed to me awhile back. couldn't decide if it was some clever photoshopped animals or not. regardless, the scene can happen. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

The reason I thought it was fake was because of the position of the eagle's claws. It didn't have a hold on the fox anywhere. If it is real then the eagle just dropped the prey  The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

It looks like the sun is to the eagles upper left and the correct shadows don't apper to be to the lower right... Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

If it is real, then someone cut the foxes front legs of with some loppers. Maybe the eagle bit them off...... Like Doc said, the scene can happen, so it looks cool anyway. | |||

Ann-Thanks for posting the photo. It's interesting, no doubt. And to little MrHawg and his continued immaturity: Thanks to your reply of "It's a fox dumbf---" and your earlier comment of "its a whitetail retard", I have discovered the most wonderful use for the IGNORE feature on this board. It completely hides all of your posts from my screen...aint that GREAT! Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Hi Guys, Sorry about this mis ID. On my cheap monitor the k-9 initially looked like a coyote, all I could see was the grey hair. The foxes where I am at are very red, almost orange in color. I do believe such a thing can happen, the photo looks very real to me and I would personally love to witness this happen. I use the crows and ravens to keep hawks away from my chickens. I love it when nature "works"! ~Ann | |||

I witnessed an opposite of this on Kodiak Island back in the Fall of ’97. From about 100 yards away through my Leica’s I watched a Bald Eagle grab a Snowshoe Hare, kill it and begin to eat it when a large cross fox jumped out of some alders startling the eagle just enough for that fox to grab the carcass and run back into the alders. One of the two neatest things I’ve ever seen first-hand while in the field. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||
