One brave bird's slippery quest for freedom.
The Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL decided to honor the largest North American land bird by bringing an actual, live condor onto the ice. A natural scavenger, the condor escaped its handler and hunted for Don Cherry or other carrion. This is what ensued.
The condor, sensing prey and irritated by a sub-par national anthem, escaped the grasp of its handler.
Surprisingly, a condor's talons aren't well-equipped to walk on ice.
The handler caught the condor, but took a nasty spill while trying to get back to the carpet.
