'Injured' Bald Eagle At Missouri National Park Was 'Too Fat To Fly'

28/08/2024 12:50 PM

WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Bernama-UPI) -- A supposedly "injured" bald eagle rescued from a national park in Missouri was found to be merely "too fat to fly" after eating a bit too much raccoon, United Press International (UPI) reported.

The official Facebook page for Wilson's Creek National Battlefield posted that Missouri Department of Conservation officers were summoned to the edge of the park to capture a bald eagle that was "originally reported to be injured."

The post said the eagle "was found to be healthy but engorged with raccoon -- in other words, too fat to fly."

The Dickerson Park Zoo took X-rays of the eagle, which revealed a recent meal of what appeared to be a fairly large roadkill raccoon.

"The eagle has been rehabilitated and released back into the park," the post said.
