As it later turned out, the GPS has been fitted in Kazakhstan. The tracking device has saved all the locations the eagle has been to. Turns out, scientists were doing an experiment where they attached GPS on supposedly 20 eagles and marked every single place they visited in one year. These birds have crossed many countries, but, interestingly enough, it stayed clear of the sea.

Pretty cool to see how much ground they covered in a year.

That’s badass. Can you imagine the combined beauty of the places that bird has seen in one year?

I was thinking the same thing.

That eagle saw beautiful mountains, Seaside cliffs, infinite desert, and a bit of a rainforest. Pretty damn good tour

Huh? Except the extreme northern stuff, everything else was traveling to or near a sea coast.

Did they mean no flights "over" the sea?
