I don’t normally use pictures with fences and other evidence of being in an exhibit, but the two bald eagles are at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park because they were injured in the wild. The San Diego Zoo rehabilitated them but their injuries are such that they cannot hunt effectively in the wild, so if they were to be released back into the wild, they probably would starve to death or be easily captured by a predator. At the San Diego Zoo, they get food, medical care, and lots of visitors (like me!) ogling at them and taking their pictures.
