What does this headline mean? I can’t get the words to parse, and I don’t have 50 minutes right now to (maybe) find out.
Edit: I never heard this usage of the word “unit” somehow. I was imagining it used in some mathematical sense, possibly in contrast to a relative unit.

The more I look at it the more it strikes me as the raptor version of a bro-dozer. It’s like a red-tailed hawk jacked up on oversized tires that make no functional sense for highway driving. I bet it also has an altered exhaust system so everyone hears it coming from miles around, even before they see the clouds of black smoke!

The eagle wasn’t interested in carrying off that goat chamois, just getting it far enough away from the cliff face that the drop would kill it.
Eagles are jerks.

Well it’s a pretty effective way to kill something that’s bigger than you. The eagle will still have eaten it.
(I’m also pretty sure that’s a chamois, not a goat)

I just play the cards I’m dealt, Doc.
Rabbit? Isn’t that a goat?
