A black bear was discovered sleeping in a bald eagle's nest. As researchers were inspecting eagle nests on a military base in Alaska, they came across a bear peacefully sleeping in one of the nests.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shared a post on Instagram about this incident. They wrote, "While a napping black bear isn’t what you would expect to find in a bald eagle nest when conducting an eagle nest productivity survey, it might not be too extraordinary on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson - JBER, Alaska. In the past years, a few eagle nests have been raided by black bears with predictably bad results for the nesting eagles (i.e., loss of that year’s nestlings). During a survey flown with a helicopter in May, this nest was occupied by an adult female eagle seen incubating an egg on the nest."
Take a look at the bear napping in the eagle's nest here:
