Yes of course, but can a 5'2" blond carry a 6'4" infantryman to the medic in combat environs?
I am..........disturbed.

Looks like he’s just “helping it along”. Like giving it a “boost “. How thoughtful! 😀 Canadas come in various sizes. Some varieties are not that much bigger than mallards. Still, this is impressive and it was neat that it was caught in a photo.

I believe there were some credible claims of eagles absconding with newborn lambs...and Elmer Keith claimed eagles were hard on Idaho game animals by attacking newborns. Whether they actually flew with them, I don't know.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Well, if the goose can't pull his own weight, somebody has to carry him.

Whether they actually flew with them, I don't know. I sat with a rancher one morning in the Montana badlands and we watched two golden eagles kill a small doe antelope on a flat in front of us. We had been checking fence. They did not try and carry it away. Osky

Greater White Fronted geese end up in the lower branches of trees in SE Alaska. The big (Vancouver) dark geese are simply torn apart and eaten on the ground. This seems to be common with waterfowl that are crippled by hunters. Just one pellet is enough somehow to signal to adult eagles "game on !" Healthy ducks and geese seem to be ignored.

Some Goldens will carry a young sheep or goat and drop it to break its legs a rancher told me when I showed him the shorn off 4 lower legs of a sheep I came across.

I had a school teacher lady named Stoltzfus who was a spot on match for a flying monkey. Twin siblings from a different genus.
