That'll make me think twice the next time I see a big predatory bird while I'm scaling some cliffs.
That was awesome. Smart bird. |

The next time I order a steak, I'm going to request it come from a cow that got thrown off of a cliff. |

FWIW, I don't think it is a "cow." I am pretty sure it is similar to a juvenile bighorn sheep, or maybe mountain goat. Cows don't climb cliffs... Anyways, here's an even better video.

Both videos, but especially the second, look almost too good to be real. Way to many perfect shots from way too many cameras.

I am pretty sure this is a common occurrence at these cliffs, so it is somewhat predictable... So the cameras were set up in advance, knowing where the kill zone was and the eagles desired nesting zone? Perhaps even the "catch" was staged, released strategically, hoping to entice the bird. That is often how lots of "wildlife" photography/videography is done.
It is definitely real, not computer generated, but the actual reality of the whole process may be questionable, as it could've been staged. If that makes sense. |

Here is a video of an eagle taking out a deer... Horribly staged, but you get the idea.
