Eagle attacking drone mid-air shows animals as averse to UAVs as humans

People aren't the only ones threatened by drones invading their privacy, as spate of attacks caught on camera shows wildlife fighting back

Remarkable footage of an eagle attacking and disabling a drone has taken the internet by storm, but it illustrates that drones can distress animals as much as they annoy humans.

The drone was attacked by the Australian wedge-tailed eagle over woodland in the greater Melbourne area, sending it tumbling to the ground, as it saw the drone as a threat.
