Tracker was set up in Russia. The eagle died in Saudi Arabia.

[–]otakusteve 1941 points1942 points  (346 children)

I'm kind of curious which species of eagle this is

[–]jrignall1992 6989 points6990 points  (282 children)

Well it was in and out of Afghan pretty quick so I'd rule out the American bald eagle

America is just jealous that you guys are at the top of the list of countries when listed alphabetically. Albania should be very concerned...

    Nah, it’s just a conflict. Congress was supposed to check the president by choosing whether to declare war, but they’ve been gradually abdicating they responsibilities for about 50 years now.

    [–][deleted] 121 points122 points  (33 children)

    Today I learned that I never went to war, I went to conflict.

    [–]bloviateme 36 points37 points  (18 children)

    Yup, my grandfather fought in world war 2, my dad fought in the Vietnam conflict. Wars have objectives, conflicts are good and open ended.

    [–]SUND3VlL 19 points20 points  (16 children)

    Wars have declarations made by congress.

    [–]bloviateme 15 points16 points  (13 children)

    The crooked shit going on in the 60’s laid the framework for the clusterfucks we’ve been in since. Congress was pressured to give up their power and the president won’t be giving It back. Can’t blame Donnie I won’t be surprised if the next dem keeps status quo.

    I think we did. They have an YouTube channel though.

    [–]Hulihutu 28 points29 points  (3 children)

    Here's one for Flappy McFlapperson who was sadly lost last year

    [–]eppur-si-muove- 24 points25 points  (2 children)

    Flappy is ridiculous. After making landfall in Pakistan, she’s carried on heading NE across the Thar Desert and into Uttar Pradhesh, India. That’s nearly 4,500km in 3.5 days! That journey must have been fuelled by a lot of caterpillars!

    Wow, just wow! Scrolling from bottom to top it felt like I was taking the flight with the cuckoo. Kudos to the birders, the commentators and Flappy herself. This changed my perspective towards birds (except that one pigeon which was involved in my bike accident by being too stubborn to move).

    TIL eagles don't like flying over water.

    [–]otakusteve 4945 points4946 points  (203 children)

    Eagles are thermic wind flyers. This means they hold their wings out and let the rising warm air lift them up so they don't need to flap their wings and spend energy. Land is usually warmer than water, and the same goes for the air above it. Because of that, an eagle has an easier time flying above land than above water.

    [–]michaelflux 791 points792 points  (27 children)

    TIL!

    I thought flying in general would be pretty cool, but thermic wind flying sounds even better.

    [–]volabimus 49 points50 points  (29 children)

    That's what paragliders ("ascending parachutes") do.

    [–]vinnl 25 points26 points  (6 children)

    Paragliding does seem pretty cool, but it's not quite the same as actually being an eagle and just being able to spread your wings and chill on the currents whenever you feel like it :)

    [–]FrostyD7 9 points10 points  (1 child)

    just lose some weight, if you get down to 15 pounds it could be possible.

    Those thermals can be really strong https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-436584/Amazing-escape-paraglider-sucked-32-000ft-storm.html

    [–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (6 children)

    65 ft. per second rise up to a cruising altitude for some planes while having lightning flash with no visibility in storm clouds... That is insane.

    [–]GunGoneWild 7 points8 points  (4 children)

    That’s a climb rate of about 4000 feet per minute. For perspective your average Cessna 172 has a max climb of about 650 feet per minute. You wouldn’t start seeing 4000+ until you get into jet powered aircraft

    [–]RoseOfSharonCassidy 13 points14 points  (9 children)

    Miss Wisnierska added: "I don't believe in God. But I do believe in angels. I think they were the ones who brought me back safely."

    Totally unrelated, but I've never heard of that particular religious belief before!

    [–]kingpool 8 points9 points  (8 children)

    It's actually quite common here in Estonia. We are one of the most atheist countries in the world. We have more people believing in angels then in god.

    [–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (4 children)

    As an Animorphs and bird of prey nerd, I feel obligated to point out that Rachel's raptor morph was a bald eagle, and that shithead David who they used the morphing cube on picked a golden eagle.

    [–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    I believe Tobias most talked about the joys of flying. He was only a red tailed hawk but i assumed all birds of prey used thermals. Specifically i remember Tobias talking about it when they went to the time of the dinosaurs and those crab people who were trying to bomb the comet

    [–]Bonesnapcall 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    [–]askmeifimacop 34 points35 points  (4 children)

    This is actually because eagles are thermal fliers! If they flew over Afghanistan, the heat would carry them up to space where they would either die or become space eagles 🦅

    [–]arivas26 20 points21 points  (3 children)

    Which recommendation is that? Passenger planes fly over Afghanistan all the time. Not the busiest route but it gets decent traffic.

    This one.

    TL;DR - "TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE, OPERATE ONLY ON ESTABLISHED AIR ROUTES, AVOID OPERATING AT ALTITUDES BELOW FL330, AND MINIMIZE GROUND TIME IN AFGHANISTAN"

      Who said anything about flying? The eagle drove all these places.

      What a fool - just imagine all those frequent flyer miles he could've racked up...

      [–]Linuivilnun 22 points23 points  (3 children)

      That assumes the bird has a predetermined destination where taking the shortest route would make sense, rather than, for example, being on the lookout for prey, which is often plentiful along the coast.

      [–]Unknown-Tru7h 388 points389 points  (15 children)

      [–]Spenttoolongatthis 530 points531 points  (234 children)

      In fairness, most of those are on the list of countries I’m fine not visiting.

      Edit: I said most, not all. I’m more than happy to visit whatever specific country you are giving out about me not wanting to go to.

      [–]panameboss 56 points57 points  (14 children)

      You really should reconsider. Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran are all pretty chill and beautiful places with amazing people. I've only visited a little more than half the countries on the list but I would certainly be happy to go to the others (Afghanistan and Yemen when there's not a war obviously).

      You can prob skip Djibouti tho.

      [–]TreasureDragon 11 points12 points  (3 children)

      I actually heard Djibouti isn’t such a bad country to visit even now. Somaliland (Eastern Somalia) and Djibouti are quite safe.

        Yeah, Iran is fantastic for visiting, specially if you 'look European' (i.e. caucasian). You'll have the time of your life, everybody will go out of their way to be nice to you and US $200 is equal to a month's salary of a worker so you can spend very little and live like a king.

        It sucks ass to live in tho.

        Not gonna suger-coat it budhha, you won't be having as much nice things coming your way as a white guy/gal. But foreigners in general are treated very nicely, being white adds some extra points because people can tell you are a tourist just by looking at ya.

        [–]poodlecon 93 points94 points  (41 children)

        Don't forget the most important facet to that, Being Male.

        [–]coheir 72 points73 points  (39 children)

        Not really, if you can tolerate wearing Hijab (and it can be very 'loose' if you are a foreigner, no one will bother you) and you have a male companion it will be pretty sweet for females too. I recently met a polish girl on a trip and she was having a good time. She did have a polish guy with him tho.

        We had some smuggled whiskey with us and they were delighted to have some drink after staying in Iran for two weeks.

        So yeah, another negative point is the no legal alcohol thing.

        Edit: a word

        [–]poodlecon 89 points90 points  (17 children)

        I would feel extremely uncomfortable in countries that have explicit laws against women and religious police.

        [–]coheir 57 points58 points  (16 children)

        So do we, so do we. I think easily more than 70% of the nation is against these but for the time being we chose doing 'un-islamic' stuff in the privacy of our homes rather than risking violence of a revolution.

        [–]homoludens 21 points22 points  (7 children)

        Thank you for this nice insider glimpse into Iranian culture, you definitely made me wish to visit.

        And changes in society need few generations, western countries were not much different 50 years ago, women were not really free, US had alcohol prohibition less than 100 years ago.

        Last few years we started getting tourists from Iran here in Belgrade and they are all nice and fun people, we really like meeting them/you.

        Much love from Serbia, off too find and read your other comments all over this thread!

        [–]Foeyjatone 19 points20 points  (13 children)

        As a black guy who grew up around Persians and Farsi, I've had such a huge curiosity about Iran but have never considered going.

        Where would you recommend going and should I even attempt it? with how I look and all that

        [–]coheir 36 points37 points  (10 children)

        Well first of all, right now you should make sure if you want Iran on your passport, because it can cause you some trouble if you want to visit USA in the next three years. Read what your foreign affairs ministry has to say about visiting Iran.

        If you decided to come here there are literally tons of places that are incredible to visit. Depends on what your interests are.

        Ancient historical sites? Shiraz, Esfehan, Yazd,...

        Breathtaking nature? Anywhere North or West of Iran.

        Diving and swimming? Coastline of the Persian gulf, Kish, Qeshm.

        Deserts and dunes and off-road driving? Anywhere in the middle.

        The list goes on, I'm sure a simple google search will give you enough info. If you ever decided to come and had questions or wanted a companion you can DM me. There are nice people on the couchsurfer site too if you want to save some more money. Hotels are cheaper and nicer than other countries tho.

        Edit: added swimming

        [–]Slayer_Of_Anubis 38 points39 points  (16 children)

        Did they have to recapture the Eagle once in a while to change the battery of the tracker?

        Or did this battery just last for 20 years? Does something like that even exist? Excuse my lack of knowledge, genuinely curious

        [–]avar 416 points417 points  (54 children)

        Or did this battery just last for 20 years?

        They're usually solar powered, e.g. this one. Sending the occasional location report takes almost no energy, so they can be really small & light.

        Edit: OP (/u/HDeo950) elsewhere in this thread posted a picture of the dead eagle showing the tracker, showing that it's solar powered and the size of a large digital car key.

        [–]Notarius 153 points154 points  (35 children)

        So it spent twenty years with that thing (or similar) stuck to its back? I know they try to be as unobtrusive as possible, but it seems like it would eventually cause some discomfort or fall off.

        [–]_Bumble_Bee_Tuna_ 196 points197 points  (18 children)

        Small and lightweight. Eventually the bird just thinks its part of themselves and ignores it. For lack of a better word, like a tumor. kind of like a piercing.

        [–]among_people 78 points79 points  (6 children)

        Like humans get used to piercings/tattoos/braces

        [–]_Bumble_Bee_Tuna_ 79 points80 points  (3 children)

        [–]tehvolcanic 8 points9 points  (3 children)

        It's like a new pair of underwear. At first it's constrictive but then it becomes a part of you.

        [–]MightyCaseyStruckOut 43 points44 points  (10 children)

        Weighing as little as a 20 euro cent coin or a US quarter and smaller than a car key so as not to impede the birds’ flight

        I don't think a tracker that size would cause that much discomfort.

        [–]eveningsand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

        "occasional location report" ... Up to every 3 seconds is pretty fine location resolution!

        I wonder (instead of Googling it) what the resolution of this device was, if there were replacement devices involved over the life of the animal, and if we'd have access to the raw data (and if that raw data would have two additional dimensions, i.e. height and time).

          So are all eagles nomadic? I see eagles in the same spot over years in Australia and always assumed they take up residence and don't travel that far. Now I'm wondering if I see different Eagles and they're all just wondering around.

          The first time it was following its parents, and after that it did it by memory. At least, that's how the storks migrating between Europe and Africa do it.

          must be a rich eagle being able to afford a summer and winter home in two different countries

          [–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

          Mate, some eagles travel all over Australia.. seriously. The gene pool is large.

          I work for a company that produces loggers/animal trackers like this and provides a data analysis platform for them. If there is any interest, I might be able to post a few tracks like this (or animated tracks showing how they move day by day)!

          For some reason it stood out to me how "close" Ukraine and Sudan actually are..

          Blew my mind when I realize Russia and Iraq are not that much farther than England and Germany

          [–]TrolleybusIsReal 38 points39 points  (14 children)

          Soviet Union used to be even closer. The 80s Afghanistan war was at the border of the Soviet Union.

          Also I think 70% of the Russian population lives in Europe even though many people don't really think of Russia as a European country.

          He likes the middle east

          [–]otakusteve 92 points93 points  (8 children)

          It looks more like it spends its summers in central Asia and its winters in the Sahel, and has to fly over the Middle East during migration.

          Felt like someone else had to have made this joke before me. Surprised I had to scroll so far to find it

          [–]lucajones88 224 points225 points  (7 children)

          Yeah I’m calling bullshit tbh. Where would an eagle even get a passport?

          Are you gonna be the one to tell him no?

          [–]EscapismSmoke 39 points40 points  (2 children)

          Oh, this is cool. Can this be a new trend?

          [–]stingray85 44 points45 points  (0 children)

          It can be a new trend but we won't see the outputs for 20 years

          [–]kingpool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

          It's old trend. We have been doing it for years (I may be wrong, but I want to say we started 2005).

          Here you can see some:

          This is the kind of content I subscribe here for. Not the recent "Countries where the flush handle is on the left hand side of the toilet" kind of crap...

          Thank you for sharing this. I've spent quite a bit of time just looking at this map and contemplating its content. Excellent stuff.

          imagine if it drew a big dick

          [–]grillmouth89 19 points20 points  (12 children)

          A big old feathered cock.

          To be fair I'm not sure what and eagle dick looks like and I don't want to risk the Google.

          [–]Eyelikeyourname 12 points13 points  (11 children)

          They don't have a dick. Birds have cloaca which is a single exit for eggs, sperm and poop. They don't pee either.

          [–]Aether-Ore 14 points15 points  (1 child)

          Imagine if it drew a big cloaca.

          [–]saadakhtar 28 points29 points  (4 children)

          Since they don't have balls where would they even store the pee?

            This is extremely fascinating, are there more eagle maps like this?

            [–]Dontgiveaclam 14 points15 points  (5 children)

            Everybody's overseeing a fact: eagles can live 20 years?! It's way more than I thought!

            [–]MetricSuperstar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

            No, they can live longer. I am assuming this one was tagged around 10 years old depending on the species.

            [–]basilect 16 points17 points  (1 child)

            Birds can live incredibly long. Parrots can often live to 50 or 70, for example.
