SYDNEY — A brazen bird snatched a video camera that was recording crocodiles in northwest Australia and captured fascinating footage of its 70-mile 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 4 to 6 inches long and 2 inches wide, disappeared soon after and the rangers figured it had fallen into the water.
The rangers recently found out that the device had been found near the Mary River, about 110 kilometers (70 miles) away, ranger Roneil Skeen told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. When they examined the video inside, the real culprit was revealed.
The rangers plan to bolt down their cameras from now on, Skeen said.
Had to check and make sure this wasn't fake. Apparently it's real and it's fantastic. Just some scumbag bird flying around and snatching up a camera. Probably headed to some pawn shop to "hawk" it. See what I did there? They said it was a 70 mile journey but the video only shows a couple flaps of the wings. If there is more of this video I need to see it. Like the part where he sets it up to video him and his bird ladies getting it on. This bird is about to be famous. You see what a video like this did for Kim K, now she has a rapper baby daddy. Do you bird.
PS. This is why that Amazon Air shit won't fly. You can't even set a camera somewhere without something trying to steal it. They really think people are not going to just buy a .99 cent toothbrush and wait for their own personal helicopter to stop by and then just jack it?
