Donating YT 500 Club Member | Oh my goodness that was insane!! Thank God the little kid was to heavy for the bird to take. That would have been an absolutely horrible day .... I've heard of eagle's attempting to take pet dogs, but never a baby! I will honestly admit, though ... the music that the person chose to play the slow motion part of the video to made me giggle. |

| I saw that a little while ago on TWC and couldn't believe the Eagle was that bold. How scary for the child and the parents. I'm glad he was too heavy to carry off...I can't even imagine how different this could have turned out for all of them. Just another reminder to keep a close eye, and leash, on your pets too... |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Wow. Glad the child is ok. People forget how powerful these raptors are.

| To actually see this filmed is unreal! It doesn't matter if people are near or not.

| It appears to be a hoax... Animation students admit eagle snatching toddler video is a digital hoax Just the same prey birds can and will take small dogs...and we still need to be wary of them.

| Very good! Definitely makes you think though... I'm always nervous with large birds of prey and my dogs.

| I apologize for putting a hoax on here. Normally I check things out, but it didn't even dawn on me that this could be a fake.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Oh Connie.....no need to apologize. I had seen this video before your post and had already heard that it was likely a hoax from this Canadian group. After knowing it isn't real, I found it kind of amusing and admired their film editing skills

| Connie, you didn't know. Neither did the news agencies that carried the story all over! Only the keen of eye in certain fields of work apparently spotted the shadows of that bird weren't quite right as it neared the ground and apparently was also the "wrong" kind of bird for the part of the country or something. Had I seen that video before I read the hoax story, I would have totally believed!

| I would have fallen for it too, if I hadn't read the article first, and then watched it I thought it was a darn good video. That was some creative work! I'm sure the goal was to make it look real. Students have to start somewhere or how are we going to have the pleasure of watching great sci-fi movies on the big screen at the theater?
