Golden Eagle Snatches Kid - Fake Revealed!

This is my stabilized version of the video to help to see what's happening.
It's very well done, but not perfect. The camera shake helps to hide a lot!
Notice how the kid doesn't move as smoothly as he would in reality, and he jumps upwards after the eagle has let go. The eagle's left wing doesn't cast a shadow when it is near the ground as it is picking up the kid.
An eagle is capable of doing this, and with eight talons like 2-3 inch knives impacting at 50mph, and a clench stronger than a man's fist, it is likely that the kid would have really severe injuries, such as a punctured lung and not survive.
Still a good job though!

I had to study it carefully too, and stabilizing it helped to see the 'real' motions.
Some circumstantial evidence too for fakery:
1. exactly 1 min,
2. baby on its own
3. video intentionally not stabilized!
still cleverly done, and outrageously successful!

It's a good fake - a college 3D animation project.

Thanks for the post. This one fooled me, I thought it was real, I'm disappointed because this was a rare event.
