Golden Eagle is a huge, strong and energetic bird, reaching up to 85-90 cm and 3-6.5 kg in weight. Golden Eagle is capable of tackling a wide range prey that includes fox, jackal, sheep and wolf. They have been seen even attacking grizzly bears (As Shown in the Below Videos).
Hunting wolves with golden eagle was an ancient tradition but is not practiced much any more. This was because the wolf-pelts provided material for clothes crucial for survival in the severe colds.
The bird was specially trained to attack a stuffed wolf. It had to take the animals by keeping with one foot at the back of the neck and another at the flank closer to the heart and lungs. Then the bird must quickly peck out the wolf’s eyes with its powerful beak.
