Golden Eagle Dives on a Wolf Pup. Then Its Mother Charges High in the mountains of northern Spain, a mother golden eagle has one summer afternoon to bring food home to her six-week-old chick before the sun touches the cliff. Her first catch, a hare, is stolen by a red fox. So she turns to a meadow where a she-wolf rests beside a boulder with her two-month-old litter, and one pup has wandered off with its back to the sky. What happens when the shadow drops, and the mother wolf looks up? A cinematic wildlife documentary: golden eagle vs wolf in the Cantabrian Mountains, told through one long afternoon. Stay for the explainer at the end: how much a golden eagle can really lift, how heavy an Iberian wolf pup is at two months, what scientists have actually recorded about eagles and wolf pups in Spain, and why red foxes steal from eagles.
