Australian eagle makes miraculous snatch of catfish hurled into the air

Turns out that A.J. Brown and Terrell Owens aren't the only impressive and legendary eagle receivers. There's also this actual eagle who isn't in the NFL, but who lives in Australia. Thanks to Instagram account "treknaustralia" we have this moment with this caption: "This was absolutely amazing." MORE OUTDOORS: It truly was amazing. A fisherman grabbed a catfish, waited as an eagle circled above his boat. Then? He tossed it into the air. In one snap of its talons, it grabbed the fish and raced off for a meal. Seriously. How cool is that?
