Wow.

Nice. Kid was about the size of a hare, easy prey for a bird that's been known to take down reindeer.

Up to nearly 7 and a half million views already. I thought something was fishy about that. I mean, it had to be heavily promoted for that to happen so fast, beginning so soon after it was posted. ITS FAKE.

"The "Golden Eagle Snatches Kid" video, uploaded to YouTube on the evening of December 18, was made by Normand Archambault, Loïc Mireault and Félix Marquis-Poulin, students at Centre NAD, in the production simulation workshop class of the Bachelors degree in 3D Animation and Digital Design.

The video shows a royal eagle snatching a young kid while he plays under the watch of his dad. The eagle then drops the kid a few feet away. Both the eagle and the kid were created in 3D animation and integrated in to the film afterwards."

Yeah, it's a shame.

It's on every news site. Has been for a few hours.

The thing is, there have been cases where something similar actually happened. Nobody got it on film though.

Too bad the eagle video is fake...I looked up the Golden Eagle after seeing that, and read their wingspan can get up to 7 feet


The dog driving video is super cool...But I think it's more cool as a trick..What if they are driving their handicapped owner around and someone swerves in front of them. Can they react fast enough to tell the dog to swerve, and continue to control the car?

In NE California, I've personally witnessed osprey (a large eagle with a 5 - 6 foot wingspan ) take salmon out of the water that must have been around 25 pounds. They struggle, but do manage to get enough lift to carry it away eventually. Not bad for a bird that weighs 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 pounds.

Jason White (daily reptile news) accidentally disturbed some brumating T. elegans'. Ooops. It's been getting down to around freezing at night in Sacramento. I hope they find another safe place to stay.

This video was making the rounds on Facebook with the caption - "This is a rare, but very possible reaction to using Prevent O Mite that is not listed on the side of the can. i was lucky and all my snakes made it past this phase 100% OK. This video is a 100% improvement from when I originally pulled them out of their tub. i was pretty confident at that time that they were all going to die."
