That’s proper, a slow-poke turtle escaped from an eagle’s nest from proper underneath its captor’s nostril . . . actually. How, you ask? Nicely, there was a nest cam recording the entire thing, so you may see for your self.
The Redding, California eagles, Liberty and Guardian, have their very own livestream nest cam on YouTube. Guardian initially made the catch, and Liberty was guarding the turtle when it made a bolt for it.
The Friends of the Redding Eagles (FORE), the group that facilitates the nest cam, posted an replace after the incident, saying they’d named the turtle “Fortunate.” The group hasn’t been capable of search the realm for little Fortunate, however they’re hoping for the perfect.
“Liberty & Guardian’s new nest is roughly 70 toes off the bottom,” FORE wrote in a Fb put up. “The bottom under the nest is roofed in 8-foot tall Himalayan Blackberry Bushes. So, we simply hope that Fortunate’s luck held out & one way or the other it survived the autumn & landed softly & safely within the bushes under the nest.”
