A rare incident is when an eagle attacks a lion, as eagles normally hunt smaller animals such as guinea pigs and birds. However, sometimes, an eagle can bravely face a stronger predator like a lion.

Eagles have several advantages over lions when making attacks from above. Their powerful talons are designed to grasp and hold their prey, and they can swoop down on targets from above at great speed.

Lions, on the other hand, are ground-dwelling predators and are not as well equipped as eagles to deal with attacks from above.

If an eagle attacks a lion, it may target the lion’s eyes or the back of its neck. These are key areas that can cause serious damage to the lion and can immobilize it.

However, it is also important to remember that lions are also talented hunters and warriors, they will not sit idly by and watch an eagle attack without resistance.
