Brownsville, Texas — A massive eagle with a 10-foot wingspan was recently discovered and captured near the U.S.-Mexico border, astonishing locals and scientists alike. First spotted by hikers, the bird’s sheer size and powerful presence drew immediate attention from authorities and wildlife experts.

After several days of careful tracking, the eagle was safely captured and relocated to a conservation center in Brownsville. Scientists are now studying its origins, diet, and biology, exploring whether it’s a previously unknown subspecies or an unusually large specimen of a known eagle like the golden or bald eagle.
