Golden Eagle Hunts a Lamb on the Cliff… Then the Mountain Lion Steps In | CTTV Video

Golden Eagle Hunts a Lamb on the Cliff… Then the Mountain Lion Steps In High on a red-rock cliff, a golden eagle picks out a mother bighorn sheep and her two-week-old lamb, cut off from their band. Again and again it dives, and again and again the ewe stands her ground. Then the ledge itself becomes part of the hunt — and the eagle is not the only hunter watching. Stay to the end: the science section explains how a golden eagle really hunts on cliffs, why a newborn lamb is almost too heavy to carry, and what 12 years of field records say about mothers standing guard. A wildlife documentary about predator vs prey on the edge of a drop, with a mountain lion and a grizzly bear in the same mountains as the golden eagle. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 The Ledge and the Drop 1:35 The First Strike 4:08 The Fall 4:43 Something Behind the Boulder 5:49 The Chase Along the Ledge 7:38 The Spur 8:20 The Chute 9:46 The Science Behind the Story 14:10 About This Film (AI Disclosure) 🔬 Science notes (from the final section): golden eagle size and lift limits (Wikipedia), Dall sheep lamb mortality (ADF&G), maternal defense in mountain goats (Hamel & Côté 2009), mountain lion predation on desert bighorn (NMDGF), bears at mountain lion kills (Yellowstone & Glacier). 📷 Eagle footage (Slovakia): Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 3.0 — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Golden_eagle_(Aquila_chrysaetos)_in_Slovakia.webm ⚠️ Some scenes are original AI-generated or AI-assisted creations produced for educational, storytelling, and illustrative purposes, and may not represent real recorded events.
