Eagle-versus-cat standoff in Vancouver park captured in photos

[Spazito]

An East Vancouver man captured an unlikely animal encounter when an everyday house cat and a majestic bald eagle had a tense faceoff in a park.

Peter Davidson was at the Cunningham Elementary playground, near Nanaimo Street and East 37th Avenue, with his two-year-old son Saturday.

Also at the park was Bruno, his neighbour's friendly orange tabby.

Then it got a little more crowded: a bald eagle swooped down onto the field to drink from a puddle.

1. Good thing Bruno didn't press the issue

Eagle talons are bad news for unwary would-be attackers.

2. Agree...

It definitely would have been a disadvantage for the cat, he might have sensed the potential danger which is why he didn't try. All ended well and we got to see that thanks to social media.
