camcording techniques

So I was watching another National Geographic video, and it's of an eagle hunting for a hare. I was curious to see how close the camera came in proximity to the eagle. Does anyone know how people or video cameras get so close to these animals? I mean, since birds fly, the cameras are right there along with them.

My guess is high quality zoom lenses. To get close to nature, you just have to make sure you don't stand out. If you're not loud and showy, animals will forget you are there. It's crazy that the eagle is able to take down, kill, and eat that hare with just its feet! (Well, later with its beak, too.)
