Looked pretty real to me. There are anomolies that occur in real videos also when reduced to slo-mo. We lost a 5 lb 3 y/o yorkie dog to a big hawk when I lived in WV. Bird flew away with it up the street and dropped it in the middle of the road from about 40 feet up. Circled back down for it before I got there and flew off to the woods with it. Our other yorkie got picked up and quickly dropped but survived. It would never step out into the open ever again and just start trembling when it neared the door.
