[Frank Cannon]

[Vickers]

5. Holy crap, that eagle is HUGE!

:wow:

I went and looked it up at Wiki, and it says they have wingspans averaging over 7 feet.

6. The family is "recovering from shock"

I say they sue the lion for shocking them.

22. Let them try. The lion has a tough lawyer

This guy. he's in the aquarium at the zoo.....

7. Ummmm they are there to see animals..........

And then are "shocked" to see animals acting like animals?

[Squatch]

8. Not only are they shocked, but one person "burst into tears"

Jesus H. Lion, Americans (both US and CN Americans) are just a bunch of pansies.

9. Not most- but then you only see the morons because they make better TV

[HEyHEY]

17. they're small children

I don't think they quite get that line of tinking.

18. I missed the ages. I can see how the kids would be scared.

Not the parents though. It's a good time to have a talk with the kids about nature and the food chain.

23. Bet They Went Out

...for a big steak dinner afterwards, to forget about what they had witnessed.

10. Not so proud and mighty now, Mr. Eagle!

[HEyHEY]

19. I love the look on the lion's face

It's so "hoo hum"

[Blue_Tires]

11. send that polar bear after the lion, and it will all even out

[Squatch]

12. You mean Knut?

[Squatch]

13. Or, do you mean Knut, Destroyer of Children?

[Blue_Tires]

14. the bigger one in HEyHEY's sig could be more to the point

[BlooInBloo]

15. Aslan?

:rofl:

20. I wonder what the lion bribed the crows with?

Sounds like the crows were definitely in on the scam to trick the eagle into being lion-bait.

I'm guessing there must have been a net up above that kept the eagle from getting airborne, as eagles usually win their arguments with crows by circling higher gradually, until the other birds get nosebleeds (beakbleeds?) and can't go any higher.
