Injured eagle spotted in Sochi as bear sighting adds to wildlife surprises
A rare eagle with a broken wing has been seen in Sochi for the past week. The injured bird has drawn attention from locals, though details about its care remain unclear. Meanwhile, another unusual wildlife encounter was captured on video in the same area—this time involving a bear.
Residents first noticed the eagle struggling with an injured wing on December 14, 2025. Despite its visible distress, no official reports confirm whether a veterinarian has treated the bird. Authorities have not released any information about its condition or potential rescue efforts.
The eagle’s fate remains unknown as no public updates have been provided. The bear’s brief appearance, though documented, did not result in any reported damage. Both incidents highlight unexpected encounters between wildlife and urban life in Sochi.
