A Hunter in Montana took this

Origins: This
image of golden eagle taking a fox away from a partially-eaten, snowbound carcass is genuine, although it wasn't snapped by a "hunter in Montana." It's one of a series of pictures taken by Finnish photographer
We do note that various videos available on the Internet demonstrate that a golden eagle can carry off a fox carcass, and that a (trained) bird of prey can prove a formidable foe to a live fox.
