I've seen them pick up a good size animal like a big jack rabbit bythe hind legs and get airborne immediately so the eagle doesn't get bit. They fly up a way then drop the prey from altitude to kill it. That's likely how the eagle handled that fox. Or maybe that's how we should handle Somali pirates....
