An eagle that is too fat to fly was rescued in the United States.

According to the New York Post and other U.S. media, the Missouri Department of Natural Environmental Protection recently received a report of an injury to a white-headed eagle at Wilson's Creek National Register Park.

However, the eagle had no apparent injuries and was simply unable to fly.

Accordingly, an X-ray examination at an animal hospital showed a large undigested object in the stomach.

What the medical staff took out of the eagle's belly was part of the body of a raccoon, a type of raccoon.

In particular, Raccoon's front feet remained in shape.

The eagle recovered after the operation and recently flew back after rehabilitation.

According to the veterinary hospital, `Pet birds such as parrots suffer from obesity, but wild birds rarely cannot fly because they cannot digest like eagles.'
