| Why Is This Deer Dangling From a Power Line? |
According to the AP report, an eagle may have bitten off more than it could chew and dropped the fawn when it was flying away with its prey. The deer got hung up on the power line and caused a brief power outage in a Montana neighborhood. [AP]
Question:
How the hell does an eagle pick up a deer? Please someone, give me stats as to the max weight they can lift.
Smart Answer:
According to [en.wikipedia.org] golden eagles have been known to take young deer (like this), bear cubs, mountain goats, etc.
In Kazakhstan there is a tradition of hunting with eagles. Like falconry except they say falcons are birds for children. Sometimes they kill mountain goats by knocking them down mountainsides. [www.kazakhstan.orexca.com]
