Teachable moment here for anyone that underestimates what an eagle is capable of. A Wyoming driver today shared video of one of these massive birds trying to take down a pronghorn.
If you're not familiar with what eagles eat, the answer is whatever they want. Imagine the surprise for this large bird of prey who was outsmarted by a coy rabbit who made the jump of his life.
Call it the circle of life or just Yellowstone being Yellowstone, but there's a recent video showing how one step of misfortune for a bison became a huge benefit for several bears and eagles, too.
I've seen just about every wildlife confrontation imaginable in Yellowstone National Park, but I've never seen one quite like this. Instead of wolves, bears, elk or bison, I've found a Yellowstone showdown of the feathered variety. It shows 3 eagles who tried to capture a lone duck. "Tried" is the key word in that sentence.
