Those who are doubting this may not happen, think again. Here in Malta a bald guy out in the field in the early ours before sunrise may be unlicky enough to be attacked by a short-eared owl (kokka tax-xaghri), thinking its the relection off a mouse or rabbit. It happens, any farmer or elderly hunter can tell you to always wear a cap.

Just saw on the Daily Mail how the video was mounted. It really is fake.

Whoever is doubting that an eagle wouldn't do that is simply so dumb. That's nature for you; eat or be eaten. But then man has estranged himself from natural processes and instincts and many have been humanizing animals for so long, consequently they now assume animals should and would abide by their human twisted ideologies.
Thus, this eagle should be tried for assault on a minor.

Mr Zammit,
I never commented whether this was fake or not. You evidently failed to note the subtle use of appropriate words which make all the difference; "WOULDN'T as opposed to DID". So re- read the comment maybe you get it right this time.

This fantastic creature would have survived if it was in Malta for more than 30mins.

We were never food for Eagles. There is only one old documented record of an African Crowned Eagle taking a baby in South Africa. The whole thing about this video had written fake on it. The eagle moves in a very unnatural way. It is not a golden eagle. It lifts as if it is carrying nothing, considering it is lifting a child which weigh more than the bird etc. etc

Fake. Trained eagle swoops on dummy baby, switched for real baby As the man runs towards the child. Add sound of child crying ( stop frame examination of baby shows he is not crying). PS Eagles can carry about half their weight. Baby weighs more then eagle

If you keep your eyes on the child as the eagle stoops (slow motion part) the child can be seen moving.
In fact, the eagle probably dropped the "prey" as it realised it was too heavy.
