Eagle Snatching Toddler Video Is A Hoax
A video that appears to show a golden eagle grabbing a small child in its talons in Montreal is actually the work of animation school students, the school said. The clip, titled “Golden Eagle Snatches Kid,” depicts the bird grabbing the child in front of his mother and carrying the toddler a few feet into the air before dropping him. The child is then seen crying, but does not appear to be seriously hurt. The video had been viewed more than 5 million times on YouTube as of yesterday. The National Animation and Design Center – Centre NAD – posted a message on its website saying the video was made by Normand Archambault, Loic Mireault and Felix Marquis-Poulin, students in a production simulation workshop class that “aims to produce creative projects according to industry production and quality standards while developing team work skills.”
