Monkey-eating Eagle

If I were a monkey and I saw a Phillipine Monkey-eating Eagle dive-bombing me, I'd probably die of a heart attack and save the eagle the trouble of killing me.

Maybe even in my human state!

An eagle big enough that it "mistakes" children as prey (from what I can see in the second video)? I hereby vow never to travel to the Phillipines.

Paul, where on earth did you find a picture of me after I've just woken up? I thought I burned all of these.
