"Hawk Mistakes Kitten for Prey on California Car Dashboard"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Whiskey Riff
In California, a red-tailed hawk was thwarted by a car windshield while attempting to snatch a kitten sitting on the dashboard. The kitten, unphased, eventually sought refuge behind the steering wheel, while the hawk gave up after persistent but futile attempts to penetrate the "invisible forcefield." In related incidents, a bald eagle in British Columbia nearly captured a pet Yorkie, and in another event, a Canadian woman ran out topless to save her pet goose from an eagle while breastfeeding her baby. These stories highlight the surprising and sometimes dangerous interactions between wildlife and domestic animals.
