Golden Eagle Snatches Kid, Video Admit is a Hoax


If you were suspicious of the unreal footage of an eagle's attempt to steal a small child, you're not alone.


Armchair video experts have been analyzing the clip with frame-by-frame forensics, presenting pretty solid evidence of high-tech trickery. Check out this slo-mo vid isolating the incident.


See the child continue to rise after the eagle lets go? Now watch as the eagle's shadow momentarily disappears at the 10-second mark.

Other doubters are tut-tutting as the child's ascent speeds up when he’s released, as well as crying CGI over the briefly transparent wing.

A bird expert at the Black Swamp Bird Observatory says the alleged avian kidnapper isn't even a golden eagle, but a falconer's bird with a fake toddler.
