At least 20 bald eagles reportedly died in Kodiak, Alaska, after becoming mired in a truckload of fish guts.
The Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News reported Saturday that about 50 eagles descended on the uncovered truck Friday when it left a garage at the Ocean Beauty Seafoods plant.Federal wildlife officials said that while gorging themselves, the birds pushed each other into the heavy, thick, goo and were drowned, buried and crushed.
The incident took only minutes and factory officials moved the truck back inside once they saw what was happening, the Daily News reported.
