FIGHTING FOX IS BEATEN BY EAGLES

A fox takes a tumble and lands on his head when he tries to fend off a pair of eagles in Japan. Having spotted a tasty looking deer bone, the red fox attempts to eat the eagles’ lunch, but he quickly discovers the birds are in no mood to share. Japanese businessman Sanin Alexandr watched the scene unfold when he visited a frozen lake in Furen, Japan. The 54-year-old, of Nemuro, Japan, says: “Two young Steller's sea eagles and a group of crows were quarrelling over a deer bone, which a red fox had also noticed.
