    I’m surprised by eagle being so low. Like, they don’t exactly have a ton of mass, and can’t pick you up. If you can avoid getting blinded, there’s not a whole lot they can do to you that isn’t superficial scratches. If you can grab them, it’s over.

      Okay, I grabbed it and now it opened two of my arteries. What should I do next?

      Everyone thinks they could win a fight against a little person until they find out he’s holding knives in each hand and another in his mouth. Also eagles are huge.

      I think you are underestimating how much an eagle talon can fuck up your face and neck, and difficult it would be to restrain one unarmed.

        Ask a falconer about getting “footed” by their bird.

        Full size eagle could easily break your hand, or possibly your forearm, if it got the right grip. No claws needed.
