The fisherman is running as if he is really gonna snatch it back from the bird...
wait a min ... mebbe he just will sell it away ![]()
Here is the video #1 referred to http://www.snotr.com/video/4151
I go to feed birds when they start to migrate back north in the end of winter (ducks primarily). Our seagulls are quite aggressive and stupid but the crows and ravens are surely the wisest and very patient. It is quite a lot of fun to see similar situations in real life as in the video.

Ravens can also deceive each other e.g when faking a hiding place for food
Very smart birds!

So two ravens were talking:
- Hey, I'm going to steal some food from a stupid bald eagle today. Wanna come ?
- Neah.. I'm going fishing.
True story! ![]()

Not only smart, that raven is a bully and he just owned America's national bird ![]()
1) Why didn't the eagle fly away with his food? And 2) After the raven took his food, why didn't he eat the raven?

I wish the fisherman dove to catch the Raven and then slid into the hole xD
It looked as though there was nothing left of the kill but some skin,so no great loss.Ravens are very persistant when they want something. That was probably a Canadian Bald Eagle since it ran instead of fight to keep its food.

It's amazing how clever some animals are. Like crows who've learnt to drop nuts onto roads, to have cars drive over them to break them open. They even learnt to drop them on crossings, so they can safely get the nuts at red lights.
Nature is amazing when we take the time to learn about it.
