Eagle tries to snatch child

December 19th, 2012

Obviously, we need some sort of government legislation that would prevent these raptors from trying to steal our children;

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

Seriously though, I’m not sure what I’d have done in that situation. The eagle was pretty swift, and if it wasn’t for the kid’s weight (I’m assuming it was heavier than the eagle expected), what could you really do? Weapons aren’t advised or even realistic in this situation. You can’t jump or climb a tree in time, even if it roosted nearby. The thing would be miles away before you got out of the park.
Crazy.

Ah! The zombie apocalypse has arrived!!! This is why you keep your children on a leash.

And now we have proof positive that the giant birds that tried to run off with a boy down in Texas or Missouri or wherever it was were not the product of an overactive imagination.

Really must put more sheep on picnic grounds and golf courses. Oh, wait — they’re already there. They are called liberals.

Well, since golden eagles have an enormouse wingspread and are quite capable of lifting six-month old lambs, which weigh about the same as a small child, how is it faked? Huh?

You want to go over that again, clownboy?

One of them came after my German Shepherd when I was out hiking with her up in Wisconsin 30 years ago. Almost got her, too.

So how was that video faked, again?

We have coyotes in my area that are larger than German Shepherds.
They sometimes get hit by cars and are left by the roadside for the waste management people to pick up. They are healthy, fit and well-fed.

They will kill and eat anything, including pets of any size and small children. The newspaper frequently reports close encounters with coyotes by residents and there is more than enough footage of the collared coyotes that the Chicago Streets and Sanitation department imported into the city to control rats.

They are also large, healthy, fit and well-fed.

Parents and pet owners are advised to keep an eye out when they are outside, because the coyotes in Lake, Will, DuPage, McHenry and Cook counties are not afraid of people, because they aren’t hunted around here, even though they should be.

So now when I go out hiking, I take along a one-foot inch-marked black and white ruler, which is a standard measure, plus plastic bags for collecting hair and scats, as well as my camera and some pepper spray and a big stick. \

There are recorded images or cougars on trails in McHenry county, Jo Daviess county, and then there was that cougar in Chicago that was shot in an alley by a bunch of scaredy-cops two years ago. Big healty male cougar, too. A couple of years before that, someone spotted a pair of cougars in his back yard looking for food, up near Zion.

See, when food resources become scarce in one place, the wildlife — especially predators — moves to another place where there is less competition and more food. Geese, for example, love to park their feathery butts on golf courses and chase off golfers. Ditto, redwing blackbirds. They will attack anyone coming near their nests.

So the sight of a golden eagle trying to snatch a free meal on a picnic ground — nothing new there. Obviously, the bird was hungry.

The beak of an adult golden eagle can break bone, as can its talons. That baby would have made nice, big lunch, especially since the bird was bigger than the kid.

Oh, Gag USall, please post your picture so that I can print out.

Crows have incredible memories. I want to take your picture with me so that I can show it to any crows that I encounter — lots of them around here — and tell them that you want people to eat crows and that you’re not a nice person.

That way, not only will they remember you and your face, they will pass it on to their offspring and all the crows in the US will start looking for you.

You think ‘The Birds’ was just a movie? I’d keep an eye on those staging areas, where crows stage in large numbers — by the thousands. They never forget a face.

Hmmm. Looks like GAG YAS is coming to us from Scottsdale. Alex Popovich was from Scottsdale. And Todd Hamilton is nearby in Chandler. Maybe they know the Gagger here.

Or maybe this is just another persona belonging to one of those two. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Again, GAG YAS: put up or shut up. If you have proof the video above is fake, provide it. Otherwise, you’d be best advised to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool vice continuing to open it and repeatedly proving same.

And I’ll pass on crow, thanks. Have you ever seen what crows actually eat? I’ll pass.

@24 – I took your little challenge and stopped at the frame where the eagle hits the kid. There is definitely a shadow for the kid, however small.

Just because Junior’s shadow isn’t as large as Mommy’s (in the stripes) or the eagle’s shadows, it doesn’t mean there is no shadow.

See, PH stands for Photographer’s Mate. PH2 is an E-5 rating/rank. 6 years in the Navy. Photo “A” school in 1967 which included still photo and MOPIC classes, 18 months professional training and working experience before I went into the Navy, 15 years as a pro photographer afterwards, still doing the same stuff 38 years after I left the Navy. Most recent images, handheld shots of the early morning moon conjunct Venus around 7AM CST.

My working experience in the Navy included printing still photographs, monitoring color chemistry and cutting film in the MOPIC division at the Naval Photographic Center, among other things.

Got that part? I think I do know my butt from a hole in the ground about photography.

There is a small but distinct shadow just behind the sitting child.

GAG YAS: and don’t bother to bring up the Global Montreal article about this. That only says the video might be a well-executed fake. It offers no conclusive proof one way or another.

Whether this video turns out ultimately to be true or a clever hoax, it’s eminently plausible. While not particularly common, eagles do attack humans with some regularity:

There has been at least one documented occurrence of an eagle attacking and carrying off a bear cub:

http://library.sandiegozoo.org/factsheets/golden_eagle/golden_eagle.htm

And there is scientific evidence that eagles hunted human ancestors. It’s also known that African crowned eagles occasionally attack and/or kill human children.

A rational discussion about what? That animals sometimes attack humans? Where did I claim otherwise? You’re the retard going out of his way to post links refuting a claim I never made. Hey Hondo go on youtube and look up Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. Somewhere you’ll find a video of a man riding straight into a gigantic shark’s mouth on a jetski. Don’t worry though, it’s not real, even though we both know that people sometimes ride jetskis, and that people are sometimes attacked by sharks. In other news, Jaws and its sequels (especially Jaws-3D) were all fake too. Sorry if I’ve just pulled the tablecloth outvfrom under everything you thought real.

By the way – that’s not even a good example of a strawman argument, “fella”. It’s pretty pathetic, and gets you a big NO-GO. Try again.

Hondo, should I post one of my special effects slides that I shot in the course of working at my first job in Chicago?

5 years of special effects. I can point on the seams in Star Wars IV, every one of them. I can tell you exactly, to the frame, where each one starts in all the SW movies, and how they’re done. I can also tell you which sharks in “Jaws” are the real sharks and which one is Bruce the Mechanical Shark, now residing at Universal Studios. I can also tell you how the got the shot Gregory Peck as Ahab tangled in the ropes on the back of Moby Dick in the 1956 movie “Moby Dick” and how many makeup changes Lon Chaney went through in his version of “The Wolfman”. I can also relay how the ghosts were done in CGI for “Ghostbusters”, and the early CGI morphing that allowed a conversion from human to wolf form in “American Werewolf in London”.

It was my job to know how to do these things, because I got paid to do them, too, on film.

The video is not a fake. Tablecloth still on the table, no dishes brokenn.

Gagger-boy: geez, are you incapable of reading and comprehending English?

Your first post above called everyone here “morons” for getting fooled by an “obviously fake video”. Hello – the only place I’ve even seen which questioned the video’s authenticity doesn’t go that far – they say it may be a well executed fake.

Well executed fakes, by definition, are not “obviously fake”? Are you getting that, fool? Are you even capable of getting that?

There are only two rational explanations for calling that video “obviously fake” without providing additional information. One is that you believe the event is impossible. The second is that you believe the event is so rare as that it is virtually impossible to document an occurrence of same.

My comment (30) above citing sources was intended prove that the event depicted is neither impossible nor so rare as to be virtually impossible to document. Anyone with common sense and an IQ of 80 or higher should have been able to figure that out.

By the way: I haven’t even bothered to watch the video. I’ve merely been replying to your idiotic rantings because I enjoy exposing idiots. In your case, it was pretty easy.

Now, run along and find a good coloring book to play with before nappy-time.

This isn’t about whether or not the video is a fake. It’s about whether or not you can generate all the attention you don’t get from your mommy, who is probably at work and doesn’t know what you’re up to.

You had all that time go on google and look up instances of eagles attacking humans, now and thousands of years ago, but you wouldn’t take one minute of that time to watch the video in question? Ok, Captain Fruitcake, I’m going to stop talking to you now and suggest that you contact your nearest mental ward. You should probably check yourself in for an extended stay. When you check out I’m sure this hoax will have been roundly debunked and then you can go wear a dunce cap and sit in the corner.

Oh, please don’t tease us!!!

Geez, I stopped that video at the frame just before the eagle touches the kid. Yes, it’s possible to do that if you know, or have even the faintest idea, what you’re doing, and I do.

There is a shadow — however small, it is still a shadow — behind the kid. It is a small shadow because of the angle of the sun, which in the video frame is at the 7 o’clock location. Picture a clock with markings. 7 is slightly to the left of 6. Oh, that’s hard to visualize if you don’t know is, isn’t it?

You just don’t like being told that you’re wrong. If you’re really leaving, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

@13-Hondo–I’ll go ya one as well…when I was stationed in Guam, there was a species of bird which was extremely aggressive if you got anywhere their nests and would actually dive-bomb you.

Anyone who has been running on Site III or NAVSTA can tell you that a lot of times we would go out running with badminton rackets to keep them from bombing us–and yes, those who didn’t occasionally got tagged to the point of drawing blood.

And these birds were nowhere near the size of a golden eagle.

Susan, birds are really only interested in making nests, having babies, bringing them up, and getting on with their lives. They don’t hate us. They think we’re frakking ridiculous most of the time.

But if you’re nice to them, they’ll be nice right back to you, which means if you don’t like them, then you simply leave them alone.

Hitchcock’s film ‘The Birds’ was not a documentary, it was a horro movie. Ray Berwick was the bird trainer and John Cardos was the bird wrangler. The crows in the scene near the schoolhouse were highly trained.

Crows and all corvids are, in fact, the most intelligent bird species on the planet. Yes, smarter than parrot species. Crows and ravens have distinct vocalizations and vocabulary, just as cetaceans do, and long, long memories, and what they learn about humans, they pass on to their children and subsequent descendants. And they mate for life.

Common Sense Says:
December 19th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
My son was 2 when he was attacked by a goose at the park. Birds are just as aggressive as any other wild animal.

Large raptors are quite capable of snatching small dogs so I’m not surprised one tried to take a baby. My dogs are about 12 lbs and are never allowed outside without us for just this reason. We live in a wetlands area with hawks, coyotes, foxes, and the occasional eagle or mountain lion.

I really worry most about the coyotes since one night this fall when I was covering my tomatoes, heard steps in the rock at the edge of the yard, and turned my head to see a coyote standing about 20 ft from me. Although I was able to chase it away, it didn’t run and wasn’t scare of me. It would have taken one of my dogs in a heartbeat especially since my dogs would have run right up to it, barking their fool heads off (because all mini dachshunds think they are wolves).

NHSparky Says:

SAY GAY, do you still beat your boyfriend?

Same kind of logic. Seriously, whether you think the video is faked or not is basically irrelevant. Those of us who have been raised in rural (and some not-so-rural) areas know raptors (psstt..that means “eagles, hawks, etc.”) can and have picked up larger than rodent type objects for food, and that children can and have been taken by not only raptors but other animals in the wild.

So what about those facts confuses you so, m’boy?

Most of you guys have seen that picture of my Mikey the Large and in Charge, right? He weighs in at 19 pounds. He’s about the size of the child in that video. A golden eagle could easily pick Mikey up and fly away with him.

“watch it in slow motion”? I stopped the frame. Went through it frame by frame. Don’t need slow motion when stop motion is available.

I don’t know what it takes for this anal orifice to get that he’s wrong; he’s ignorant of facts; he has no credentials to prove that the video is a fake; and he’s a boring attention whore with nothing important to say.

Ex-PH2: there are ways to do that, Ex-PH2. It’s not that hard if you have access to the right servers and some terminal emulation software.

It also could be just Hamilton posting from his current day-job location. He previously was in Chandler, and Scottsdale is not very far away. And we have seen a variant of this tool’s screen name (“You Ain’t Grunt You Ain’t Shit”) posting from a location in that vicinity in the past – specifically, in Tempe.

Hamilton’s got an IT background, so him working an IT job would make sense. And some IT jobs support multiple locations, shuttling people from place to place as required.

Doesn’t really matter, though. His “winning personality” and “superior intellect” shines through every time.

Is that why you got kicked out of cooking school? Couldn’t come up with an original recipe? Gee, people do that here all the time. Or was it failing the food chemistry test? Hmmm. Well, when you put butter in pastry like pie crust, it makes it nice and flaky because the little bits of butter blended with the flour and water and salt leave tiny pockets behind when the pastry is baked. And if you want pie crust for a one-crust cream pie to stay flat, you bake it with beans in the tin after you poke it with a fork to let the steam out.

There was an article posted at Global Montreal quite a bit earlier today that did the same, PintoNag. Neither article is definitive one way or the other. Both raise doubts, but neither offers conclusive proof.

In short: could be real, could be fake. At this point we don’t definitively know one way or another.

But in any case, such an incident is plausible even if this one turns out to be bogus. That – along with pointing out Gag-boy’s idiocy – has been my whole point from square one.

Video is a fake Says:
December 19th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
I’m not going step in the heated discussion above, but there is no doubt the video is a fake.

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.

PintoNag Says:
December 19th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
@117 No dispute there. While the video may be a fake, an eagle attack certainly isn’t. They are more than capable of taking lambs and dogs, for sure, both of which would weigh as much or more than the child in the video.
123
Video is a fake Says:
December 19th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Obviously, I agree with you Pinto. We have historical evidence of raptors preying on children, and it is no stretch to reason that an eagle would try to prey on a child today. The bird sees a tasty snack of the right size, and evolutionary instincts kick in.

I have no idea how recent this has occurred or how often this occurs, but possible for sure. I bet the odds of getting it on film are rather slim, but in today’s digital age, can’t rule it out.

You know, the guy who created the video of crop circles suddenly appearing while people walked by them went to the trouble of explaining how he did it. None of the UFO-space alien hunters believed him, because it was too disapppointing to find that they’d been fooled by a clever trick.

So maybe the video is a gag, maybe not. I see things that others have missed. I can do some nice stuff with CS3, but I tell people what I’ve done.

I don’t use it as an opportunity to vent spleen on other people.

RUSH is NOT the greatest band:

I don’t have any issues with a confirmation that the video is a composite — what you’re calling a fake — because I do photo effects on some of my own images, but I admit to it. I state that they are altered and edited when I publish them.

If this video is a manufactured or composite image, then it’s done quite well, because I did a stop motion frame-by-frame and enlarged viewing of it. The CGI images and effects in movies like Star Wars I, II, and III are far superior to IV, V, and VI. There is an enormous catalog of CGI imaging in all of the Lord of the Rings movies, but those techniques are vastly improved since the 1976 release of Star Wars.

So if the creator of this video did fool me, so what?

People argue over UFO videos that show nothing but small sport aircraft in the distance and no one can convince them that it’s anything other than alien spaceships. No one believed the creator of the crop circles video when he spilled the beans on how he did it. None of the crop circles hunters believe that humans can make the crop circles when it’s nothing but trampling grain in a field by a bunch of beered-up art college students.

Why would I be upset be something that is done well? It’s not insulting to find that somebody did a bang-up job of special effects on an amateur. And it does not make me incompetent. It means that the guy did a good job, which is what he meant to do.

However, you have no call to come here and insult me or anyone else on this board. You have no idea who you’re up against.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

There are others besides these. I think Peggy Lee had her own band. Julie London was married to Bobby Troup. And from the 1970s, there is the Jacques Loussier Trio, as well as B.B. King and Miles Davis.

There are not just bands, they are incredibly great bands. Real musicians playing real music.

I think RUSH is a great band and very underrated. Since none of the band members have drug problems or other anti-social behavior they’ll never be recognized by true listeners of rock n roll. Those of you who thought the video was real are stupid jackwagons.

@162. “Those of you who thought the video was real are stupid jackwagons.”

Okay, thanks for playing. You’re one of those people who when asked a riddle among others, you feign contemplating its answer for a few minutes before answering the riddle correctly. Of course, the others don’t know you have heard the riddle and its answer previously–and you don’t tell them because you want them to think you’re smart! You are such an asshole. Thank you, again, for playing.

No thank you for playing sitting there judging what’s real and what’s not. Then putting others down for their opinions. You must have worked in Hollywood with EX-PH2. Go reach down under your ball sac if you have any and feel the real asshole.

My, my, my – what a malcontent is #167 @Anonymous.

Disgruntled, sourpuss, vindictive, snipey, miserable. What a sadsack way to go through the world. And at the end of it, what do you have? Nothing but rude comments. What a pathetic image you present of yourself. If this is how you see others, I shudder to think how you see yourself.

I have never worked in Hollywood. I have never claimed that I worked in Hollywood. I worked in Chicago. Wrong again.

Answer: the letter ‘e.’

Don’t throw anything at me…I didn’t make that one up. And I said the same thing you did when I first heard it!

Okay, the answer to 166 is Cain. He slew Abel.

I still mystified by people think that you’re stupid if you decide that a very well-done student CGI video is the real thing, when they are exactly the people who go ape-bananas over the AF Reserve playing snooker with the citiznes of Boulder, CO by hovering over the city in helicopters at night and slowyl — very slowly — lighting flares.

Those just HAVE to be alien space ships! They HAVE to be! If they aren’t, then the UFO people won’t come and take these benighted souls away with them.

They are also the people who think that crop circles are landing zone signs made by space aliens, instead of just a bunch of beered-up art college students ruining a farmer’s crop harvest and income by stomping down the wheat to the tune of 10,000 metric tons. And it’s always wheat, never oats or barley or rye. Never soybeans. Never clover or timothy or alfalfa. Occasionally, in the US, its’ corn. But if you tell these hosers that it was done by humans, they don’t believe you, even if you have the video of the kids doing it.

And we’re stupid? Sure. Keep telling your little selves that.

@175. The screen name Anonymous is automatically listed if the commenter does not enter a screen name. Thank goodness. Otherwise, the one calling us stupid for being deceived by a masterful video creation, would have spelled it anonamus or some such thing. Game over. Away with you!

Well it looks real and uninterrupted in its entirety. Been working with adobe products since 1988 . Not so much with video but the background in the video seems to be solid and no noticeable frame jumping with the eagle movements. The shadows movements are smooth and uniterrupted, that is the extent of my video knowledge. It seems seamless to me. If this was done for a grade then I would say someone got an A+
