My dad is convinced this is a real pic. It was taken by a hunter in montana. I still call BS on it tho. What do yall think.

ahhh yeah not real :P you would have to have an apache helicopter to kill that thing. hehehe

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

lol jay!

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

pretty sure it's photoshoped, try looking it up on snopes though.

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

already did...couldnt find it.

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

Not real, Why the hell would that dog... I think its a dog...have his ass end up in the air... and the hawk/eagle... just looks out of proportion.

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

unless it's one of the eagles from LOTR, it looks pretty damn fake

[Crazy White Boy]

Fake.

i would have to agree with yellow on that one and it is fox that the eagle is after. if head of fox was up instead of down i would say yes to pic. the wing spawn of eagle is about 8 to 10 feet. fox at full age is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet in lenght. with weight of 30 to 50 lbs at most. so fake in my book

i believe that is a fox; parker and i would say possible but unlikely

[Daedelus]

yeah looks strange but i do think it could be possible. the eagle is pretty strong and if it was a fox he very might have been able to pick him up. took me awhile of looking at the picture to realize the eagle was an eagle i thought at first glance it was a tree branch and couldnt figure out how the fox was standing on his front feet lol.

[LA_MERC_Sniper]

ansd think a fox is onluy about 15 lbs and hes got a fluffy winter coat looks bigger thatn he is

I say this could be very much real. This looks like a Golden Eagle. Goldens are known to hunt all sorts of prey and yes FOXES are one of their preys. I say real until proven wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_eagle

"In Central Asia, Golden Eagles sometimes are trained for falconry: in Kazakhstan there are still hunters using these eagles in order to catch deer and antelopes; in Kyrgyzstan hunters will show outsiders how to hunt foxes [1]; and in Mongolia they are traditionally trained to hunt wolves. Some of the animals that Golden Eagles have been trained to kill can weigh 45 kg (100 lb)"

My question: why is the fox standing on it's front feet while the talons of the eagle are open? I mean, it hasn't struck yet, so why is the fox looking like it's being dragged away?

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

I cannot clearly make out what is going on. With the snow being thrown around they could possibly be in the middle of a fight. Golden trying to take off and fox getting away. What makes me feel weird is the magpie in the foreground. That bird seems out of place.
