An Eagle's flight from the top of the world's tallest building to his handler

below. On Saturday, 14th March, 2016, an eagle was fitted with a camera and
released from the top of the 2,715 foot Burj Khalifa in Dubai . Here is the
film. The eagle has no idea where the tiny speck of land was that his handler

is standing on or what it looked like among all of the other islands and
buildings and people. Somehow from that altitude, the eagle actually picks out
and recognizes the trainer from all of the other objects, people, etc. You can
see him looking, looking, looking for the trainer, completely invisible to a
human eye and the camera, then fold his/her wings and then drops like a bullet
straight to that trainer... very cool. What surprised the experts is not only
how efficiently the eagle spots his trainer from that altitude, but how smooth
its flight is with no camera shake whatsoever, even when it goes into a power
dive. Here is the film. Guaranteed enjoyment.
