A young wild Eurasian Eagle-Owl fell into a tiger enclosure in a zoo in Landau (Germany)

and ... survived it!

The chick was almost full-fledged but could only hop around,
It did huff and puff though and the tigers had too much respect to attack

Last year one wild one (also nearly full-fledged) fell into a small fountain in my hometown and drowned to death :(

Conclusion: fountain is more dangerous than a tiger cage!

Agree. Birds of prey are beautiful animals.

It’s just drowned, nobbi. When you drown, death is implicit.

Nice story.

I remember miracles in "The Abyss"

Nice story.

Poor thing, that would about kill me. My mom once accidentally killed a fox with her car, driving home after dark. She didn't have time to stop. She literally would not get behind the wheel for nearly a month afterwards, she was so upset by it. Creatures die, but when you fail to be moved by it anymore, you've lost something.

Alan Partridge did that too, but the fox wasn’t quite dead, so he had to finish it off with a jack.

Lucky for the fox, I suppose...I don't think I could have managed it. Most likely I'd have ended up mauled from trying to aid it.
