VIDEO: Australian Eagle Takes Out Drone in Midair

(Credit: Screengrab from Melbourne Aerial Video/YouTube) The wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey, and it should strike fear into the heart of drone pilots everywhere. While flying in the Australian bush, Adam Lancaster encountered the aerial predator, which was about 6 feet across from wing tip to wing tip. It’s unclear whether the bird was hungry or angry, but it took Lancaster’s drone out of the sky with ease.
