Birds of prey are always scoping the land for their next meal, which includes smaller birds, fish, and other small mammals. But the hunts don’t always go as planned, and many are botched and fail. Join us, as we look at 15 eagles and other birds of prey that messed with the wrong opponent.

Hawk/Falcon VS Dog
Hawks and falcons will attack smaller dogs, but in this video, a medium-sized dog chases a hawk and just when he is about to snatch the bird of prey, he trips over his own feet. This was not the best time to be clumsy, but I guess the bird was too swift and agile for the dog to grab it. When a falcon tries to dig into its prey, a curious yellow Labrador comes to inspect the spoils up close, but the falcon is annoyed by the dog’s presence and decides to harass it until it leaves. The dog does not attack the bird of prey but seems to get the message and leaves.
The falcon in this video swoops down to attack a dog, but he never does. I guess his intention is just to scare the dog away, but the dog is on a balcony, so the falcon is the predator, trying to strike the dog. In this slow-motion video, a hawk comes swooping down, as if to attack a small dog that avoids the worst, by getting out of the way, but the hawk is wearing an “anklet”, so he definitely belongs to someone who wanted to show off his bird.
Eagle VS Leopard
The Martial eagle is a formidable bird of prey, but when it stands on the ground, it becomes more vulnerable, especially when a big cat like the leopard stalks and attacks it. The bird has no chance of escape, as the feline kills and eats its prey. Eagles are powerful birds of prey, but I doubt any eagle could take down an adult leopard. In this video, we first see a leopard mom with her cub and an eagle on the prowl. This piece is edited to make you believe that the eagle has hunted and killed the leopard cub, but the cat we see dead hanging from a tree is a serval. The video wants the viewer to believe it was the leopard’s cub, so the viewer thinks that the leopard's mom takes her revenge when she is seen jumping from tree to tree to eventually catch and kill an eagle in a tree. Well, these are two separate hunts.
The first one is of an eagle killing a serval, and the second one is of a leopard killing a bird. In this video, a huge eagle swoops down to scratch a massive leopard’s back. The leopard growls and hisses at the bird of prey, but it probably felt like a good back scrub for the big cat. In this video, a golden eagle attacks a snow leopard, but when the eagle gets too close to the snow leopard, the big cat tries to grab the bird of prey by jumping into the air but misses. Golden eagles are powerful predators, but I would be extremely surprised if one managed to attack and kill a full-grown snow leopard. When a leopard goes for the kill, it jumps high up into the air and almost snatches a bird making its escape. Birds of prey are no match for all the big cats, and you can see another sequence in this video showing a lion chasing another bird and missing.
