Eagles Launch Relentless Attack on Kangaroo in Aerial Display.
Three wedge-tailed eagles launched a relentless attack on a lone kangaroo, swooping down several times to grab hold of its head. The kangaroo fought back and eventually escaped. Wedge-tailed eagles are the largest bird of prey in Australia and can have a wingspan of seven and a half feet. They tend to eat carrion but can also catch live prey, such as rabbits and hares. They are known to hunt in pairs or threes and are unpopular with farmers for targeting lambs.
