Wow, that was intense. I've seen a few videos of large cats or
dogs attacking raptors on the ground - in the majority of cases,
the hawk or eagle simply flies off. Not sure why that eagle stood
its ground - I think it was taken by surprise, judging by the video
(cougars are awfully stealthy, after all).
Cheers,
