An eagle killed the 3 1/2-year-old ape-man known as the Taung child.Another one of those scenarios generated from a toe bone found in some remote spot: this individual ate apples for breakfast and probably was covered by 8 muskrat furs while sleeping...
Large returns of conjecture from small investment of fact...
Why "eagle"? Why not a large flying raptor the name of which we may not even yet know?

The researcher stated "a large predatory bird."
The Eagle reference was to modern day Eagles producing the same type damage as observed on the skull.
No claim that it was specifically an Eagle was made.
