You'd be happier with kid snatching birds of prey flying around?

Yes, it thins the herd.

Stay way from my natural resources eaglenapped children.

People would probably hunt them into extinction just by fear.

"Son, I remember when you were a baby and an eagle almost kidnapped you..."

Reminds me of the movie Big Fish, the kid would get tired of his father's stories as he grow up to find out that the father was telling the truth with his spin on it to make it more interesting.

How can a video be both terrifying and hilarious at the same time? Me don't know! x_O

Golden eagles are still faster in level flight and comparable in diving speed and eat young peregrines.

I know what I'm sticking with.

Spoiler

But nothing looks cooler than a peregrine in a stoop

It's easy to pick on infants of species you're several times larger than. Adult Peregrine Falcons have been known to kill Golden Eagles.

I'm jus' sayin'.

Pretty well made, but still not good enough

Here we go, it was confirmed to be a school project for the NAD Center (a really big 3d school here in Montreal). It's a team project. Both the eagle and the baby are 100% CGI.

I only have a french article right now but they interviewed the students who created it.

I won't translate the whole thing but basically: Took 4 students around 400 hours to create the video and it was never meant to go viral. They simply posted their school project on youtube and now they are freaking out because journalists around the world are asking them for interviews lol.

Official statement from school

OUCH

 

[Megasoum]

I'm listening to an interview with one of the student on the radio right now.

So the point of the school project was to make a viral video afterall.

The grading for the project was actually linked to the number of views the students would get on youtube lol. They need 100 000 views to get A+... as of this morning they are at 17 million views hahaha.

A deer? Holy fuck, I'm screwed.

Note to self: Have big clothes to appear fatter/bigger so an eagle doesn't take you to fucking kill ya.

God damn! That is amazing, hahaha.
