I thought perhaps he'd picked it up & discovered it was too heavy to carry - until I watched the second segment of that clip.

STRONG eagle.

SarahS has been losing her grown ducks to a predator. Turns out its likely to be a great horned owl. I was doing some reading on them and they can carry 3-5 times their weight! I'm sure Eagles are at least that strong. The one on the video is obviously quite thoughtful about hunting goats doesn't want the fight in flight. I'm always impressed how animals learn to adapt to things like that.

Interesting adaptation.

Don't want to get injured. Grab the goat, toss it off the cliff. It dies and get tenderized on the way down.
