This pic was on "rumor control", a segment of "The Daily Buzz".

Rumor has it that it is a real pic taken by a hunter on Wyoming.  1/2 true.

The pic is real but was taken by a professional photographer.  The eagle was eating the frozen carcass and the fox tried to nuzzle in.  Bad move.  Although this skirmish remained land bound, they stated that a Golden Eagle certainly can carry a fox high into the sky should it choose to do so.  

Pretty cool.

ahahahahaa

fox should know that life is a b*tch

Oh man, found a little more proof that Eagles will attack a fox. (If you love dogs, you may want to avoid this clip)

Years ago on a farm I hunted rabbits, ringnecks and quail and a young boy we were teaching hunting dog handling shot a small young red fox. We heard him shoot and he was on the other side of a knoll. He ran over to tell us he had shot a fox and when we went over to look at it a Red-Tailed hawk had carried it up to a tree limb about 15' high. I was amazed that he got it up there. It was one of those things you always remember. By the way, that picture is awesome. It will make a nice wallpaper,thanks.

I love snopes...they always have answers to urban legends and other things. However, LBH, looks like you called it right. This is a true picture!

Look at the freeze frame pictures.

They mentioned that the pic was from a series but I couldn't find them.  Those are awesome.  

Yeah, it almost just doesn't seem possible...  

Stop action photography with bright snow is no joke.  Very touch to dial in when you have time, nevermind having the camera set perfectly when the event occured.

I guess that's the difference between "pro" and "hobbyist",lol

Definitely!  

I wonder if an eagle could do that to a bobcat?  If so, THAT would be ironic.

I don't know if a eagle could carry off a bobcat but, I would like to see one carry off my ex girlfriend.

Ha! That's great      

Notice the little bird didn't waste time leaving.  The fox was probally saying to himself Oh sxxt this isn't a chicken

Cool

woah, that is one biggg bird.

Sweet! That's an awesome picture.

So cool i wouldn't belive it with out photographic evidence....thanks for that LBH.

That is right darn scary!  Guess that I won't be stealing any eagle eggs.  ;D  Those still shots are excellent as well.  Didn't realize that eagles were also scavengers.  Nursed a hawk that had been hit by a truck back to health once.  Had to wave a hotdog on a string in front of it.  Once it had caught it, it would eat.  

This is downright wild!!!  Wow.  Great pictures.  Be careful if you like to wear a coon skin cap.
