The eagle being trained to catch the fox is very intriguing. I wonder how they train that eagle to do that. That's a bigass eagle anyway but for it to kick a fox's ass like that is amazing.
Can't watch this one atm due to the parents' DVR recording but it doesn't take a lot to teach a raptor to capture/kill and hold off on feeding for the hunter to get the prey. Eagles have just been less common historically due to size I believe. (But I think the Mongols have used them pretty regularly, is that who was featured?)
