Eagle Versus Deer - Eagle Wins [PHOTOS]

When I saw these photos, I thought it was a joke, but no, this golden eagle is taking this deer down. Check out the rest of these extremely rare photos of nature at it's wildest.

These photos published by the Journal of Raptor Research were captured by a camera station in the Lazovsky Nature Reserve in Russia’s Primorsky Territory.

While I don't know if the small deer put up more of a fight, I do know that the deer's carcass was found nearby, off camera. So it seems the golden eagle won this fight.

To me, this is crazy! However, a golden eagle attacking a large animal is NOT unheard of. Back in 2004 a golden eagle is said to have attacked a black bear cub, plus there are also a couple of reports of eagles attacking humans. Creepy!

Is anyone watching that reality-esk show Siberia? I could see this crazy human attacking golden eagle on that show too!
