Golden Eagle takes down a Sika Deer first time observed!

A golden eagle takes down a Sika deer at a nature reserve in Lazovsky District, Russia. The shot was captured by a camera trap set up by Linda Kerley from the Zoological Society of London and her colleagues to monitor Siberian (also known as Amur) tigers in the area. This is the first documented case of such an attack, although golden eagles have a long history of ambitious predation attempts.
