This weekend, an eagle in Dubai set a new world record for highest-ever recorded bird flight from a man-made structure. Freedom Conservation, an advocacy group, organized the flight to raise awareness for en yeezy slide dangered birds and encourage activism. The eagle, named Darshan, started at the top Dubai s Burj Khalifa tower, the world s tallest building, with a camera on its back to live-stream the experience.

Darshan was born in captivity and had never flown that high before. While Darshan s flight is impressive, it is nowhere near as high as many eagles can naturally fly.
