Description

When: May 31, 2018

Where: Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

M had some really lucky and fun moments with this juvenile Bald Eagle, where they kind of played together. It was really fun to see them interact this way, and it's a real pity that we haven't seen this cutie during our last few visits. Again, the photos are the memories.

He/she shares its exhibit with a juvenile female Steller's Sea Eagle, who recently got company of a juvenile male. Since then, we haven't seen this one. Hope it will return in front of the scenes, we would love to see him/her grown into adult plumage

Species: Bald Eagle (Amerikaanse Zeearend)

Latin name: Haliaeetus leucocephalus

Originates from North America.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…The Bald Eagle is of course, not actually bald, but it’s name derives from an older meaning, namely “white headed”.

…Both sexes are similar in plumage –though immature birds are brown – but the females are larger than the males.

…In the late 20th century, the Bald Eagle was on the brink of extirpation (extinct in its chosen geographic area, but still existing elsewhere) but has recovered in a matter of 12 years, from Endangered, to Threatened, and since 2007 has been removed from the endangered and threatened list in most states.
