That was interesting, but the pic of the eagle attacking the larger bird just didn't look right to me. It reminded me of when a mockingbird dive bombs a cat- the prey seems way too big for the predator. I've seen video, though, of lions taking down elephants and giraffes, so I guess it could happen, if not everyday then on occasion. I'm wondering, I've seen vultures use their feet to hold carcasses still while they tear off meat. Could this be the source of clawmarks on bones?

using their feet to take meat off carcasses is a good theory, i think you just put half new zealand's palaeonotologists(all 3 of them) to shame, but what could be big enough to take down a moa in the first place???? a giant eagle since nz doesn't have any large native land mammals |
