Nature and science facts about eagles
The eagle has some of the sharpest eyesight of any animal, spotting prey on the ground from high in the sky. When it spreads its broad wings and rides a warm thermal updraft, it can stay aloft for a long time without a single flap. It grips prey with its hooked beak and powerful talons, and builds a big nest on high cliffs or in tall trees to raise its young. Because of its majestic presence, it has been seen as a symbol of bravery in many countries.
