A massive eagle with a 10-foot wingspan was recently captured near Brownsville, Texas, astonishing locals and scientists alike. First spotted by hikers near the U.S.-Mexico border, the bird displayed an imposing presence and incredible strength.
Wildlife specialists safely captured the eagle and moved it to a local conservation center for study. Experts are now investigating whether it’s a new subspecies or an unusually large example of a known species.
The discovery has sparked public fascination and local efforts to create a sanctuary for the bird, with hopes of promoting research and eco-tourism.
This remarkable find could reshape what we know about bird species in North America.
