Some animals live different. They shatter norms, they defy expectations, they say "heck nature" and do whatever they want. We've seen a bobcat deciding it prefers to live like a housecat after getting rescued- because why not spend the rest of your life getting pampered? We've seen a deer start acting like a puppy- running around, playing with its humans. We've even seen a giant shoebill fall in love with a human man- to the point of getting defensive over other birds being around him. It always happen, and it's always either funny or cute.
Today's story is… hilarious. it's about a male eagle deciding to build a nest and incubate a rock. Yes, a rock, not an egg. And he's very serious about it, sitting on the rock constantly, keeping it warm and happy. This eagle does it enough that the zoo where it resides had to put up a sign about it, and the internet could not get over it.
We can only imagine what led the zookeepers to putting up this sign. The number of concerned people who must have asked about this silly bird who decided to become a father must have been astounding. We're glad they put it up though, since it's one of the funniest things we have seen all day.
Not going to lie, we would have wondered about him too had we seen this. And we are not surprised at all that Murphy went viral over because of it. It's in cases like this that we really wish we were able to understand animals, because we so desperately want to know what is going on through Murphy's head when he does this.
