This majestic creature of the sky didn't take too kindly to a perceived rival. The white hawk took down a flying quadcopter/camera setup in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This hungry Florida gator tried to leap toward a drone flying above a Naples swamp, but alas, he'd had too many donuts. Or fish. Or other gators. We'd rather not think about that too hard. Point is: The drone got away...this time.
