THE EAGLE

 Eagle is a common name for many large birds of prey. Most of the60 species of eagle are from Eurasia and Africa. They are large powerfully built birds of prey with heavy beaks and heads. Even the small eagles such the booted eagle have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight – despite the reduced size of aerodynamic feathers. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from some vultures. The largest species are discussed below potential prey from a very long distinct features. 

 This keen eyesight is primarily attributed to their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal light. Eagles normally build their nests in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. The dominant chick tends to be a female, as they are bigger than the male. The parents take no action to stop the killing. in the avian world. The type of prey varies by genus. The serpent eagle predominantly prey on the great diversity of snakes. The eagles of the genre Aquila are often the top birds of prey in open habitats, taking almost any medium-size they can catch. Where Aquila eagles are absent, other eagles, such as the snake eagles of South America, may assume the position of top raptorial predator in open areas. Many other eagles, including the species-rich genus live predominantly in woodlands and forest. These eagles often target various arboreal or ground-dwelling mammals and birds, which are often unsuspectingly ambushed in such dense, knotty environments. Among the eagles are the largest birds of prey. The bald eagle is noted for having flown the heaviest load verified to be carried by any flying bird, since one eagle flew with a 6.8 kg.

  However, a few eagles may target prey considerably heavier than themselves; such prey is too heavy to fly with, thus it is either eaten at the site of the kill or taken in pieces back to a perch or nest. Among the eagles are the largest birds of prey, only condors and world vultures mark larger species. For example, many forest-dwelling eagles, including the very large have relatively short wingspans, a feature necessary for being able to maneuver in quick, short bursts through densely forested habitats. Eagles in the genus Aquila, though found almost strictly in open country, are superlative soarers, and have relatively long wings for their size. The eagles have an eyesight of 3 to 4 times that of a normal human being. They can spot their prey 4 km away.Major new research into eagle classification suggests that the important genera Aquila and Hieraaetus are not composed of nearest relatives, and it is likely that a reclassification of these genera will soon take place, with some species being moved to Lophaetus or Ictinaetus.in the ancient Sumerian mythology, the mythical king had been said to have been carried out by etana to heaven. The eagle is considered to be one of the strongest birds in history.
