15 Bald Eagles Wearing Wigs

The bald eagle may be the national bird of the United States, but even that coveted position can't guarantee a full head of lush hair.

Instead, you're just reminded — everywhere you turn — that you're bald. It's in your name. You can't escape. It's really not fair.

So get ready, bald eagles. And put away the Rogaine. We're giving you the wigs and toupees you've always dreamed of just in time for the Fourth of July. Because there's no harm in faking it.
