Bald eagle disguise

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

I’m guessing either an eagle that was injured and raised in captivity and one of the handlers is goofing around, or (prolly more likely) not really an eagle, an animatronic or something similar. Or just a faked video.

I once missed a Bad Mayonaise concert because I was dead from da bola…
