A bald eagle in Missouri that was believed to be injured actually had the BEST reason ever that it could not fly!
Officials with the Missouri Department of Conservation captured the bird along the boundary of the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield and took it to Dickerson Park Zoo to get help for the “injured” bird.
However, an X-ray taken at the Dickerson Park Zoo, showed that instead of an injury, the bird was suffering from eating a little too well.
“The bird, originally reported to be injured, was found to be healthy but engorged with (raccoon) — in other words, too fat to fly,” the park said.
Officials suspect the raccoon was roadkill, according to the post. X-rays from the Facebook post show what appears to be a raccoon paw inside the eagle’s stomach.
