An old boss of mine used to come into work with birds of prey that he kept, nowhere near that size but some were pretty big. Amazing seeing them up close.

I like the eagle they release to fly up and down the pitch before games at Selhurst Park. Quite impressive that, more so than Palace’s annoying ultras anyway.

I saw a Bald Eagle drop out of a tree and swoop talons out towards a Chihauaua on a beach in Canada once. It was only because it startled the owners and the woman screamed, that the bird flew off. It looked every bit like that little handbag dog was going to be lunch for second though.

Spoke to one of the locals over a beer in town about it later that day, and he told me that his mate had his cat taken by an eagle as it sat on the bow of his boat when he was sailing over the sound to one of the local islands.

I think my favourite creature that I've personally seen in the wild is the Manatee (nicknamed the sea pig). You will find them around the warm waters of the Keys, and in the Mangroves, totally vegetarian to my knowledge, and are happy as a pig in **** if you give them a whole lettuce. I believe they used to be a protected species but they may have lost that status now. I'm sure it was illegal to swim with them and to give them fresh water from a hose, which they loved! Very tame creatures that can stay underwater for a considerable time before having to come up for air. In fact the first give away sign of them, was normally air bubbles on the surface of calm water. The sad part is as I found out in the states, half the Americans don't even know what they are! Hence because of that they get maimed by boat propellers, because sometimes they will float just under the surface of the water.
