Eagles are big birds so you can imagine they are pretty tough. But they may be even more hardcore than you might have imagined.

Yeah, they have talons as long as our fingers and can easily tear flesh from their prey but you just don’t picture such a “majestic” bird kicking so much ass or going around pulling goats off cliffs. At least I didn’t. I always just assumed they ate fish and random rodents/rabbits.

How about hunting mountain goats, grabbing the younger ones and dragging them off the cliffs so they drop to the bottom then stopping in for a quick hot meal?
