Golden Eagles, Mud Hens Among Top 10 Most Dangerous Bird Mascots in Sports (Photos)

Plenty of sports teams are named after dangerous animals, but rarely is that danger so clearly demonstrated than it was recently.

In a video that has since gone viral on the Internet, a golden eagle can be seen swooping down on an unsuspecting Canadian child in a park and attempting to carry it away. Unsuccessful in its efforts, the bird of prey flies off, leaving viewers with a fear that it could one day return to finish the deed.

While the video has since been derided as a fabrication, it’s still pretty impressive to see. And considering all the bird mascots in the sports world, fans would behoove themselves to take a moment and consider which ones they should keep an eye out for down the road.
