Elyse Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 It's fake - it was all over the news over here. Both the child and the eagle were added in digitally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Haven't watched it as I'm in a rush but just from the title alone, I'd say fake. Can't believe an eagle would mistake a child for prey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Haven't watched it as I'm in a rush but just from the title alone, I'd say fake. Can't believe an eagle would mistake a child for prey. Actually, I believe eagles (Bald and Golden, atleast) have been known to carry away small children. But this particular video is fake - it was done by a group of students in a graphics art studio in Montreal. It was part of a final project. I'd say they get an A+, considering the tons of people they've fooled! Besides, I don't even think we have golden eagles in Canada. http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Video+Golden+eagle+trying+snatch+Montreal+toddler+fake/7720386/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Although there are no mistakes in the video itself, I already found their reactions a bit too tame for what just happened. These birds are known for being able to carry much more than that by the way. They can carry goats up high and drop them to the ground so they have a nice meal..
