It is true that Red Tails are VERY versatile hunters.

I wondered if the shark wiggled around and got its jaws on some part of the bird (whatever it was) and the bird just dropped it as a survival mechanism.

According to The New York Post, the origins of the shark’s descent are tied to an interaction between the bald eagle and two crows. Known for engaging in mobbing behavior—where smaller birds harass larger predators—the crows likely pressured the eagle while it was flying with its prey. The eagle, in turn, dropped the shark, sending it crashing to the ground, leaving the disc golfers in a mix of awe and confusion.
