    Not to mention their food might be a trap, too, and next thing you know you’re stuck on a line with a barbed hook in your face

      From the French Wikipedia page, it goes against the current, using its wings, body and tail to force it to the bottom of the river.

      Not really since we enter their realm and they give us what for. This is more akin to walking to the local shop for a snack and getting scooped up and carried away by a giant eagle

        Speak for yourself! Last time I went for a walk to get a snack at the local shop, I got scooped up by a giant shark and carried back to the water!
