Message: <blockquote data-quote="scuba0095" data-source="post: 1621982" data-attributes="member: 20683">there is only one time that a p eagle attacked a python. First it is not clear what species of python it was how big it is and what condition the python was in.  SECOND the eagle lost the match because that is how people were able to capture the eagle.  I do not think any eagle can handle a large python ever, the ones they take are tiny baby ones which weigh less then they do.Sorry but until i see real proof i will say that large pythons are immune to any kind of bird predation.  ONLY large crocs and big cats  like a tiger or a lion can take them out.IN conclusion just because an eagle got in a fight with a python and almost got itself killed if it were not rescued by humans does not mean that that python is on the menu. I have heard of eagles attacking and fighting with bears, they have also taken bear cubs does it mean that they pose a threat to an adult no i dont think so.</blockquote>
