* In the sequel to the above film, ''Film/JurassicWorld'', we have a flock of ''Pteranodons'' doing this to people in the titular park's most populated area, as well as the baby dinosaurs housed in the nearby petting zoo. A particularly horrifying variant of this trope (possibly as a shout out to the above ''One Million Years BC'' example) happens to [[spoiler:Claire's assistant, Zara]], who is not only carried off, fought over, and dropped into a large body of water, but is also repeatedly dunked in the water by yet another ''Pteranodon'' and finally eaten alive by a giant ''[[SeaMonster Mosasaurus]]'' that had her sights on the ''Pteranodon''.
** The same thing briefly happens to [[spoiler:the main villain]] in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom''.

* ''Film/Strays2023'': An eagle swoops in on the dogs during the middle of the movie, snatching Bug the Boston terrier up as its prey. Reggie the terrier helps free Bug from the eagle's talons, during which the eagle swears at them in eagle language. It's played for laughs during the MushroomSamba scene, where Bug hallucinates the couch he loves humping seeing someone else: the eagle that nearly ate him earlier, which carries the couch away.



* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': Raptorial birds appear as dangerous foes on a number of occasions. Justified, as the main characters are feral cats and regular-sized hawks and eagles really are dangerous potential predators from their point of view:

* Set up then subverted in the novel version of ''Literature/JurassicPark''; a ''Cearadactylus'' attempts to do this to Lex, but then SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs and it finds that she's too heavy for it to carry.

* ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'': One strip has a gopher-type critter being carried off by a raptor, with an onlooking survivor [[SayMyName yelling the victim's name]] in despair.
** Another strip showed an eagle in a nest surrounded by piles of hats and binoculars, implying that it has taken to eating birdwatchers.

* In the 2009 Gameloft version of ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail'', one of the random events that can occur during the trails is a eagle appearing in the background. When that happens, [[PressXToNotDie you have only a second to touch the screen to shoot the eagle]] or else it will take one of your four members. There is a split 50/50 chance that the member will either be found 1-2 days later, or worse; the member never being seen again and thus being killed off entirely.
