Aquila chrysaetos

Aquila chrysaetos, commonly known as the golden eagle, is a large bird of prey found across North America, Europe, and Asia. It has powerful talons, sharp beak, and keen eyesight, enabling it to hunt animals like rabbits, foxes, and birds. The golden eagle is admired for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 7 feet, and its striking dark brown plumage with golden highlights on its head and neck. It typically nests on cliffs or tall trees and plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance as a top predator.
