If you want to fly your remote-controlled eagle robot, and it encounters a real eagle, expect an aerial battle, because eagles are not cool with sharing their airspace. Eagles don't like flying robots.

Most interesting is how the robo-eagle's creators made their machine raptor-resistant, and the robo-eagle landed with some superb and beautiful HD footage, as you can see via the link below.

Some say aerial warfare is all but over with the emergence of ever-advancing technological masterpieces like the F-22 Raptor and unmanned aerial drones, but thanks to this amazing clip we're reminded the air battles of time past are still alive and well. We just need to look to the sky and watch our predatory feathered friends.
