Aurora, a golden eagle, captivates everyone who sees her. With her piercing gaze and mighty wingspan, she embodies grace and power. Aurora’s life took a tragic turn when a hunter’s bullet fractured her wing, rendering her incapable of long-distance flight. In the wild, this injury would have been a death sentence, but Aurora was found and brought to a wildlife rehabilitation center.
After months of medical treatment, Aurora was transferred to the zoo, where she could thrive in a safe environment. Her enclosure is designed to mimic the rocky cliffs where eagles nest in the wild, providing her with ample space to glide and perch.
Aurora plays a vital role in the zoo’s educational programs. During live demonstrations, she displays her impressive wingspan and hunting techniques, leaving audiences in awe. Her story is a testament to the resilience of wildlife and the importance of human intervention in preserving these magnificent creatures.
