Eagle Attacks Mountain Goat

Warning: This video is shocking and violent. Don't watch it if you are squeamish. I watched it because I didn't believe an eagle would attack a mountain goat.

By the way, I read at a raptor biology site that it's a myth that eagles and other raptors can't let go once they've latched onto their prey. They can.

eagle gets rolled on several times and just hangs on. The goat, and his runnin' buddy finally get away.
What a ride!

I amazed they both got up after that tumble. Would have never imagined an eagle would attack something that big.
