Sea eagle picking up an ice fox

From Animals in Action (1901).


In northern Russia and Siberia, when all the streams are ice-bound, the sea eagle is compelled to do his foraging entirely on land, and then sometimes pounces upon an ice fox out of a pack of these animals. He sweeps high up into the air with his prey, and kills it in spite of the violent resistance which this Northern cousin of Reynard may offer.
