This video is weird. Some of the footage it includes is excellent -- the tussle between the mountain goat and the 1st c.y. golden eagle ~2:05 is really spectacular. Some of it might be staged, though (see ~4:12). And there's also a lot of really bad info: the zookeep ~5:16 is attacked by a Harris's Hawk, not an eagle. The russian paraglider had a run-in with a pair of Himalayan Griffon, which are not eagles nor was he actually attacked by them. Bicycle girl gets whacked by non-raptor (Australian Magpie, from the looks of it). Overall, it was fun watch despite the inaccuracies and sensationalism. #raptors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3fLpHEHFEU

@awg Is a golden eagle able to lift that much weight? A goat is quite a bit heavier than a rabbit.

@lnxw48a1 a full-sized goat? absolutely not. the cover picture for the video is utter clickbat, and I might not have posted a link to this video had I realised they used it. :-P
