The male sea-eagle spent half an hour devouring the pig before stepping back to share the spoil with his partner. AUSTRALIA: ASTOUNDING photos prove that pigs DO fly after a massive eagle swoops down and carries one off. The remarkable encounter, captured by a 75-year-old photographer in Australia, shows a pair of huge sea eagles carrying a pig over a lake before settling down to feast on the unfortunate porker. Clarke Espie (75) was driving back to his campsite in the Cromarty Wetlands in his native Queensland when he heard a high-pitched shriek from the skies above. Instinctively grabbing his camera, Espie was shocked to see a piglet screaming though the air in the clutches of an enormous raptor. Mediadrumimages/ClarkeEspie
