Incredible footage shows eagle swooping over Dubai skyscrapers


The incredible video shows the eagle with a tiny camera attached to it's back diving off the Burj Kahlifa skyscraper in Dubai, down to it's trainer at the base of the building.
The imperial eagle, Darshan was trained by Jacques-Oliver Travers in a breeding facility in Thonon, France.
Jacques - Oliver has disciplined the eagle to the point where he can make hand gestures which signal Darshan to change the way he flies.
The event was staged to show how humans and animals can work together harmoniously, in a fun and non violent manner.

Shortly after Darshan landed on his arm Jacques said, "Today we did a huge step for wild conservation because… I think everyone who could see this amazing shot will never have the same opinion about eagles, it's so beautiful to see this wild animal flying like that".
According to the organisers , Freedom Conservation, this is the highest –ever recorded bird flight from a man-made structure.
