I find this strangely beautiful, and I hate both nature and children.

I was taken by a bear or mountain lion and then had the chance to grow up with my animal brethren.

Yeah, a lot of people are saying that this is fake, but this seems to be real. It is not like this couldn't happen. I guess it is a bit weird to have happened in a big city like Montreal, but plausible nonetheless.

Eagles knock goats off cliffs to their death to eat them - I totally believe an eagle would attempt to snatch something smaller than a goat, wearing a puffy coat with no bright colors that could resemble an animal.

Sources?

I believe its real. People analyse minor details way too much, it was filmed with a shitty cam and the ground is obviously uneven.. There is already multiple reponses debunking the "debunkers".

Seems cheezy. I bet any students could have claimed this.

"We brainstormed some ideas of what is viral online," said Archambauld. "Everything that is animal related and baby related are super popular so we tried to bring both together and make something extraordinary that wouldn't happen every day."

The video took the students 400 hours to create.

The school grades the project according to the amount of views each video receives. Videos that exceed 100,000 views get a perfect score.

Maybe it really is a hoax though.

They pull up little cylinders of dirt to give the grass space to grow. It looks like goose poo.

The golden eagle snatches more than just small children- they eat by picking up goats and other animals of that size and drop them into canyons and pick at the body yum yum slurp slurp
