The Arial king



The eagle is one of the most dominant predators known as birds of prey.  There are more than 60 different species of eagle in the world.  Eagles can range in size from 40cm to over 1m in height. The wing span of an eagle tends to be at least double the length of the eagle's body.  The eagle is well known for it's incredible eyesight. An eagle's eyesight is so good that an eagle can apparently see a mouse on the ground when the eagle is still high in the sky. Female eagles build their nests in tall tree tops or on high cliffs where they are at their safest. The beak of the eagle is perfectly designed for ripping flesh away from bone, and the talons of the eagle are so strong that the eagle is able to carry it's prey in it's feet until it reaches a safe place to eat it. Eagles have very sharp and pointed beaks which the eagle often uses to grab prey . The eagle uses the sharply pointed beak to bite animals at the base of their skull to kill them before swallowing them whole.
