Eagle steals video camera in Australia; takes selfie during 110-km journey

[cali]

A brazen bird snatched a video camera that was recording crocodiles in northwest Australia and captured fascinating footage of its 110-kilometre journey across the country’s remote landscape.

Wildlife rangers in Western Australia’s Kimberly region released video on Monday that reveals the sea eagle’s caper.

The bird’s flapping wings can be seen as it grabs the device and takes off, and the eagle later poses for a selfie, poking its face into the camera lens.

Rangers set up the motion-sensor camera along the Margaret River in May, hoping to record images of crocodiles. The camera, which is about 10 to 15 centimetres long and 5 centimetres wide, disappeared soon after and the rangers figured it had fallen into the water.
