Animal Terror for Kids

Lets start this off right.

Animal danger can come from the skies! This lovely illustration shows 4 year old Svenhild Hansen of Norway being carried off by a Golden Eagle. But contrary to the the text ‘instance of a golden eagle “kidnapping” … No, the eagle was going to freakin’ feed this girl to the eagle chicks waiting in the nest.

In 1932, little Svenhild was playing in her backyard  when the sky darkened, before she had time to look up, she was plowed over by talons and a huge bird with a eight foot wingspan. It tangled it’s claws in  her dress missing her skin. Flying up to its mountain nest, the eagle grew tired and dropped her. It then flew around angrily circling the terrified preschooler, screeching. A search party found her 800 feet up the mountain cliff.

Here is a link to a picture of her all grown up holding her torn dress. Smiling like a bad-ass looking with a justified expression of mistrust at stuffed juvenile golden eagle.
