Stop playing with your zipper .. or Eagle tries to carry off Australian boy

[jakeXT]

A wedge-tailed eagle tried to fly away with a terrified boy at a popular wildlife show in central Australia.

....

"A fellow who was sitting closer said the little boy kept running his zipper up and down," said Mrs O'Connell, who caught the attack on her camera.

Distracted by the noise, the eagle grabbed the boy's green hoodie and attempted to him lift away before park staff moved in.

The attack left the boy crying and bleeding, but his injuries were not severe.

1. That's one confident or stupid eagle if it thought it could fly away with a child.

The child probably weighed at least 40-50 pounds. Maybe the eagle thought it was a small mammal unaware of the rest of the body mass below the hoodie.
