Eagles filmed hunting reindeer
By Matt Walker
Editor, Earth News
AdvertisementFar in the distance, an eagle hunts its reindeer prey
Golden eagles have been filmed hunting and attempting to kill reindeer
calves.
One eagle was filmed swooping down and grabbing a calf, while another
pulled out of an attack at the last minute.
A BBC natural history film crew gathered the extraordinary footage
along a reindeer migration route in northern Finland.
It finally proves this eagle species does occasionally hunt reindeer,
something suggested by forensic evidence and the local Sami people.
The crew filmed the behaviour while capturing footage of the reindeer
migration for the BBC natural history series Life, though the images
were shot at too far a distance to be included in the final cut of the
high definition programme. ...mcont) |
