Eagle launches from nest to take down drone — VIDEO

Eagles are vicious animals, and now there's a point-of-view video to prove it. 

Uploaded by Melbourne Aerial Video, the video features footage from a drone flying above a wooded area. 

Suddenly, an eagle flies up to the drone and uses a talon to "punch" the drone out of the sky. 

The drone crash lands and waits helplessly on the ground for its owner. 

Taking a closer look at the start of the video, the eagle can be seen in the distance, perched on a branch, right before it takes off at alarming speed.

A new rule for drone pilots: If you see a eagle in the sky, LAND. 

Oh, and don't worry, the eagle is fine.
