It turns out a YouTube clip showing what appears to be an eagle snatching up a baby playing at a park isn't real.

This video, called Golden Eagle Snatches Kid has been seen nearly eight-million times since it was posted Tuesday.

In it, you see a bird swoop down from the sky, snagging a kid from the playground, then dropping him a few seconds later.

Officials at a Montreal Design College say the video was created by three students who created the eagle and the baby in 3D animation and integrated them into the film afterwards.
