PIRATE PREY
Above the prairie of San Juan Island National
Park, USA, a young fox is caught in a mid-air
tussle when a bald eagle swoops on the freshly
caught rabbit held in its jaws. The persistent fox
is lifted into the air before releasing the rabbit,
leaving the eagle to fly off with its stolen prey.
Eagles frequently steal prey from other hunters,
in an act known as kleptoparasitism or piracy.
