Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

[–]scotaf 146 points147 points ago

If it's legitimate, the fox will have defense mechanisms that will shut the eagle attack down.

[–]ATownStomp 27 points28 points ago

Oh what? Like flares and an emp? Or are you implying a barrel roll ಠ_ಠ..?

Foxes are common prey for golden eagles.

[–]equipowin 11 points12 points ago

I think the eagle is actually trying to kill and eat the fox.

[–]Phant0mX 39 points40 points ago

No, no, no. He's just tickling him! Look at the fox laugh and laugh.

That's an eagle.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Eagle There's even a picture of one eating a fox.

[–]ObeseSnake 157 points158 points ago

Yeah way too big to be a hawk. Golden Eagle is correct.

Yes, there should be a special place in hell for people who are too lazy to properly caption photographs.

If you're going to do it wrong, at least do it with chutzpah - "Ostrich vs Marmoset" or something.

Golden eagles eat pretty much whatever they feel like, like pronghorn (slightly NSFW: gore and sadness).

[–]dickcheney777 3 points4 points ago

Humans eat pretty much whatever they feel like, like eagles.

FTFY

I think that's the same fox and eagle, actually a few moments later. Notice the surroundings?

[–]ChocolateCranium 31 points32 points ago

Snow, it's fucking everywhere.

[–]Soopaman 6 points7 points ago

The color of the beak is different.

[–]Wavey1287 16 points17 points ago

[–]HaydenTheFox 11 points12 points ago

I can't remember what kind of bird that is. Loons also have lovely red eyes.

[–]nastyknuckle 182 points183 points ago

Golden Eagle. They're badasses, can't find the link now but they drag mountain goats or deer off of cliffs and drop them from high in the air, then feast on their fresh.

[–]chickwhoknits 40 points41 points ago

So much better than those wimpy bald eagles.

[–]butterflypoon 36 points37 points ago

The Haliaeetus eagles are all pretty lame like that. Genus Aquila's where it's at.

[–]mitchij2004 57 points58 points ago

Been saying this for years bro!!

[–]butterflypoon 20 points21 points ago

I do like all the eagles, (and hell, all the birds, as long as they're in their native range and not invasives -coughhousesparrowscough-) but no doubt about it, Aquila is the best. That's why they get the name "True eagles"

Personally my favourite Aquila sp. is Verreaux's Eagle

[–]mitchij2004 16 points17 points ago

I was bein a dick at first but hell, consider me converted I like your dedication.

[–]butterflypoon 6 points7 points ago

Oh...ha, well that's awkward then.

[–]Demented_Hedgehog 0 points1 point ago

In this thread, you mean 'hawkward'. Don't argue, just go with it.

[–]butterflypoon 7 points8 points ago

But it's an eagle...

[–]RodleyScott 3 points4 points ago

Wanna check out a cool eagle? Look at the Harpy eagle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ErqVDccwH4

[–]akaJimothy 29 points30 points ago

It's funny, all these naive youtuber comments crying over eagles killing things to eat them. Enjoy your hamburger you pricks.

[–]acejiggy19 19 points20 points ago

The guy that the top comment is responding to is a moron. He said that the cameraman should be put in jail for animal cruelty for not saving the goat from the eagle... fuckin' serious?

[–]akaJimothy 26 points27 points ago

Cameraman: "oh shit! let me just strap on my jet pack, fly across the canyon and cock-block this bird out of its dinner." -_-

[–]krazycure 9 points10 points ago

The incredible part about this is it knows EXACTLY what it's doing. It's identifying opportunity, it's understanding gravity and momentum and distance, it's even realizing "Too easy. Might as well get another one and work my pecs." when surely ONE is enough to start eating and be full after. EVEN GOING SO FAR AS TO DECOY LAND, to make the herd think they can take him down, only to REALLY be positioning them for the next kill with the false-land. At 3:38 the eagle looks them DEAD IN THE EYE UNTIL THE LAST SECOND IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM RILED. One-hoof to the face would have ENDED HIM. It's awesome, honestly. If this were a league match his kiting would be A+++.

[–]DrDragun 7 points8 points ago

[–]mangodrunk 4 points5 points ago

That's pretty incredible, I have underestimated their strength. Throwing goats off cliffs is impressive in its power, but this shows that they can fight as well.

[–]abate_phenom 3 points4 points ago

Very fresh flesh

Edit: example of a different sort http://www.burdr.com/2009/12/golden-eagle-attacks-cameraman/

[–]Powderham 6 points7 points ago

I like the idea of burdr being an imgur but for birds

[–]wagon-wheels 2 points3 points ago

There's something oddly amusing in one camera man managing to so expertly capture the misfortune of another camera man. It's like he was privy to some special insider Eagle knowledge lesser cameramen aren't.

[–]sn44 104 points105 points ago

"Firefox does not approve of this add-on"

[–]dmukya 42 points43 points ago

Thunderbird isn't an add-on, it's stand alone.

[–]alltimeisrelative 39 points40 points ago

I hate to say it, because I love Foxes, but the Eagle probably won.

EDIT: Yes, Eagle not a Hawk.

[–]thetribute 8 points9 points ago

It's an eagle not a hawk

[–]alltimeisrelative 11 points12 points ago

How stupid of me, I even read the top comment stating it's an Eagle, agreed and then still typed Hawk. Thank you sir.

[–]TheDentite 17 points18 points ago

[–]katzenjammer360 2 points3 points ago

You've got the right guys. They hunt anything that moves, lol.

[–]x0mystic 1 point2 points ago

Honestly the way these people use the eagles to hunt is so beautiful. And the respect they have for all the animals they use and kill inspires me sometimes.

[–]garysopinion 33 points34 points ago

a little know fact is that hawks and foxes often are friends and build nests together and even have babies.

[–]DareDev 10 points11 points ago

Considering the eagle already has it's talons sunk in I'd say the eagle.

It never fails to warm my heart whenever I see someone make a simple mistake and then every comment is someone using it as a chance to fluff their flagging ego by correcting them, despite the multitude of other comments already correcting them. And I really love the ones who are so desperate they have to Google Latin names and shit to make sure that people know they're smart.

[–]thefizzingwhizzbee 8 points9 points ago

I think that's an eagle. Eagalis Majoris if I recall correctly.

The partridge tried to take off with the rabbit, but it was too heavy and he couldn't fly more than a few feet off the ground with it. He still managed to haul it about 100 feet away though.
