I wonder if other eagles ever do this? Maybe a distant Golden Eagle swimming in a Scottish loch might be mistaken for a large aquatic creature of some kind - Nessie? Birds are dinosaurs, after all..
- NikkiA 7y agoI imagine all/most eagles that feed on fish must have to swim at some points in time, so probably develop a fairly decent swimming technique. As for nessie, I'm not sure there are any outstanding 'unexplained' photos (the 'surgeon's photo' is much like the famous bigfoot film - it's been admitted to being a hoax, but 'true believers' insist that that's just the person being coerced into a cover up)
- GrumpyNl 7y agoThey make the same moves as flying.
- CydeWeys 7y agoBecause of the low body density needed for flight, I suspect that all flighted birds can swim to one degree or another. It is at least trivial for them to float quite high in the water. And once you're doing that, you've got both legs and wings that should be able to provide some manner of propulsion.
