Unbelievable moment a golden eagle is pictured swooping on a DEER and trying to fly off with it in its talons 'in first ever photographed case of its kind'
Vicious bird of prey attacks unsuspecting prey from behind
Then drags the terrified beast away to be eaten
Amazing shots were captured by scientists in Lazovsky, Russia
Zoologists believe it is the first time such an attack has been photographed
