I usually see two eagles vs one wolf (to ensure a quick kill), but there are cases where a single eagle kills the wolf on 1-vs-1 combat. That initial high-speed strike can be very crippling.<br /><br />Now multiple the size of that golden eagle by 3, and you really have a deadly predator.<br /><br />Unless you are armed, it's hard for an average human to defeat even a golden eagle (if you don't believe me, go up to one in person, close up), let alone a Haast's eagle. The eagle is basically a set of "flying claws" moving at 70 km/hour. That means even if you win, you'll be shredded up pretty bad. It's like fighting against a moving knife. Sure, it might not weigh much, but it can kill you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16541549.post-77665333668087341752009-11-02T11:35:20.780+01:002009-11-02T11:35:20.780+01:00Guess ou are right, something is amiss with the we...Guess ou are right, something is amiss with the weight maybe should have been 180?Antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408638448930696557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16541549.post-81853776935643743252009-11-01T09:11:09.733+01:002009-11-01T09:11:09.733+01:00An 18kg Bird the equivalent of a lion?
