A bald eagle catches a fish and then swims with it to to the shore.
Fascinating!
Two lucky fishermen have captured the moment a bald eagle swoops down to catch a fish but finds that its catch is too big to fly with.
After realising that it’s unable to fly, the bird of prey decides to swim to shore using a butterfly style stroke.
One of the men behind the camera can be heard remarking: “That’s a YouTube video there.”
When the eagle eventually makes it to dry land, it reveals the size of it’s catch and it becomes clear why it could not re-emerge from the water with it.
The bald eagle is the proud national bird symbol of the United States, and was declared an endangered species in America in 1973.
The bird of prey has since been removed from the federal Endangered Species List, but due to its size and importance American heritage it remains an impressive sight to many.
