Bonelli's Eagle (Aquila fasciata)

Bonelli's Eagle (Aquila fasciata) is a large, powerful raptor native to southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East. Recognizable by its robust build, broad wings, and distinctive hooked beak, it primarily feeds on small to medium-sized mammals, birds, and reptiles. Typically inhabiting rocky cliffs, mountains, and open woodlands, it hunts with swift, agile flights and keen eyesight. Although its population is stable in some areas, it faces threats from habitat loss and illegal hunting, making conservation efforts important to ensure its continued survival across its range.
