Eagle tries to snatch boy during Alice Springs nature show

<p>It’s one thing you certainly don’t expect to happen when seeing a nature show, but one young boy was almost carried away by an eagle at the Alice Springs Desert Park last week.</p> <p>The unnamed boy, thought to be around six to eight years old, was reportedly playing with the zipper on his hoodie when suddenly the wedge-tailed eagle, Australia’s largest bird of prey, flew at him and tried to carry him off “like a small animal,” according to the <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-36771205" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">BBC</span></strong></a>.</p> <p>A crowd of onlookers watched helplessly as the eagle sunk its talons onto the boy’s head in an attempt to fly away with him. Miraculously, he escaped with only a “superficial” cut to his face, though he was bleeding and visibly upset by the ordeal.</p> <p>Victorian woman Christine O’Connell managed to capture the attack on camera, explained that the boy “kept running his zipper up and down,” which distracted the bird and led to the attack.</p> <p>“He screamed, the mother was distraught and the presenters wrapped up the show very quickly,” another witness told the <a href="http://www.ntnews.com.au/news/centralian-advocate/boy-injured-by-wedgetailed-eagle-during-alice-springs-desert-park-show/news-story/946269f4615a101bfb7402669056c16f" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>NT News</strong></em></span></a>.</p> <p>The Alice Springs Desert Park released a statement after details of the incident leaked to the media. “A thorough investigation regarding the circumstances behind this incident is under way and the eagle will be removed from the show while this investigation is ongoing.”</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/07/dr-chris-brown-important-health-alert-for-pets/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dr Chris Brown’s important health alert for pets</span></em></strong></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/06/expert-tips-for-connecting-with-your-grandchildren/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>5 expert tips for connecting with your grandchildren</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/06/motherly-love-helps-childrens-brains-grow-bigger/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Motherly love helps children's brains grow bigger</span></em></strong></a></p>

Baby koala miraculously survives eagle attack and massive fall

<p>Bob the koala must’ve felt as though he’d woken up on the wrong side of the gumtree!</p> <p>Bob has made a miraculous recovery after a terrifying ordeal that saw the eight month old koala scooped up in the talons of a wedge-tailed eagles and dropped 10 metres to the ground.</p> <p>Bob was rescued by two early-morning walkers in November, who picked him up and took him to the University of Queensland’s (UQ) Small Animal Hospital at Gatton.</p> <p><img width="340" height="453" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/14388/bob-the-koala.jpg" alt="Bob The Koala" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>Bob is now in the hands of a certified carer and edging closer to release.</p> <p>UQ Associate Professor Dr Bob Doneley said, "He was very lucky he didn't become the eagle's breakfast. I've seen a lorikeet that has been rescued from a carpet snake, animals that have been attacked by predators and survived, but I've certainly not seen an animal that has been dropped from mid-air. We treated him with intravenous fluid, antibiotics and painkillers."</p> <p>"We're told he's doing very well now and eating by himself.”</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2016/01/rouge-wave-at-sydney-figure-eight-pools/">Massive wave highlights just how dangerous Sydney’s Figure Eight Pools can be</a></strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2016/01/10-captivating-photos-animal-eyes/">10 captivating photos observing different animal’s eyes in extreme close up</a></strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2016/01/81-year-old-gran-childhood-town-knock-and-run/">81-year-old gran returns to childhood town for one last game of knock and run</a></strong></em></span></p>
