Eagle forces paraglider to crash land in Himalayas – video
Vladimir Tsar'kov, a Russian skydiver, captures on camera the moment an eagle becomes entangled in his parachute, causing him to crash land. The 24-year-old from Moscow was taking part in his first flight over the Himalayas when he noticed two of the birds of prey up ahead. One of them hit his canvas, getting tangled in the ropes, but later escaped apparently unharmed

3. Was the eagle defending territory or trying to mate?
Has to be one or the other.....
