But they also possess a lesser-known talent: swimming.<br><br>\n\nYes, bald eagles are really good at swimming, a fact some of us learned this week from a viral video published by New Hampshire TV station WMUR.<br><br>\n\nIn it, a bald eagle&#8217;s white head bobs rhythmically through the water. Occasionally a wing can be seen as the bird does an avian equivalent of the butterfly stroke. It moves quickly and gracefully through the water, covering a considerable distance before it reaches the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. It calmly strides onto land, shaking the water from its feathers before it strikes a watchful, picturesque pose.<br><br>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metaspoon.com\/beluga-brings-phone-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Woman Drops Phone In Water, Polite Beluga Whale Dives In And Brings It Back<\/a><br>\nJust imagine the anxiety Ina Mansika got when she accidentally dropped her phone into the ocean near Hammerfest, Norway. However, luckily for her, a friendly beluga whale her and her friends found it and returned it!<br><br>\n\nIn video footage of the scene, we witness a woman sifting through the water in hopes to see where the phone was dropped. Seconds later, Dodo the harness-wearing whale opens his mouth, revealing the phone.<br><br>\n\nAccording to Ina, \u201cWe laid down on the dock to look at it and hopefully get the chance to pat [the whale]. I had forgotten to close my jacket pocket, and my phone fell in the ocean. We assumed it would be gone forever, until the whale dove back down and came back a few moments later with my phone in its mouth!\u201d<br><br>\n\nAlthough Ina\u2019s phone no longer works, getting to witness a whale kindly returning the phone she dropped is something you don\u2019t see every day! \u201cEveryone was so surprised. We almost didn\u2019t believe what we saw. I was super happy and thankful that I got my phone back,\u201d she continues. I\u2019m sure she was also happy to have video footage of Dodo the whale returning her phone!<br><br>\n\n(unquote)<br><br>\n\nPhoto courtesy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/56007817@N00\/3609323756\/\">Perry Klein \/ Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(quote) Bald Eagle Caught Elegantly &#8230; Swimming?
