Well, the break is almost over, but I couldn’t help writing today since I had an interesting animal story to add to my Thursday Humor column. Although, it’s not what you would call funny, just a cool story. And it didn’t happen to me, I read about it, although I wish I could’ve been there.
On an island in British Columbia, Canada, there is a group of volunteers who answer calls when someone sees an animal in distress. Last week the group got a call that there was an eagle in the water and it couldn’t seem to get lift off. The caller thought it must be caught in a fishing net. When the rescue team got there, they stood on the beach watching the eagle flap its wings, but it couldn’t get out of the water, just like the caller had said. While they were determining how best to handle the situation, the eagle suddenly began to use its giant wings as oars and paddled itself to shore! When it got to the beach, it heaved itself out and dragged an enormous fish onto the rocks. The reason it couldn’t fly was because the fish it had caught was too heavy! The eagle was then joined by its mate and after they feasted, an otter and her pub climbed up onto the rocks to finish off the fish. Amazing. Never give up.
