We were at Epcot and saw a raptor kill a duck and fly off with it. I have included video. What kind of bird is this?

I can't imagine that the kids seeing this took it well T.T I know that it's natural and animals don't care that this place has some meaning for humans, but still, oof x'3

Most kids just think it's cool when they get to see wild animal behaviour like this, I've always found it to be mostly an unfounded fear adults have that kids will be disturbed by animals! I know I grew up watching much more graphic stuff than this in wildlife documentaries and only found it fascinating and educational :)!

I hope that's the case 😅 I guess I was mostly thinking about the youngest kids (like toddlers) and some easily outraged parents 😂 I think that if I saw this as a kid, I would be a little sad for the duck, but I would be interested too, since I was big into nature (still am 😀), but I feel like I would be in a minority. A kid who isn't as big into nature could be a bit shocked 😅
