Golden Eagle

The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is a large, powerful bird of prey known for its striking dark brown feathers and golden hue on the back of its head and neck. It has sharp talons, a hooked beak, and excellent eyesight, allowing it to spot prey from great heights. Golden eagles are found in North America, Europe, and Asia, typically living in open landscapes like mountains and grasslands. They hunt mainly small to medium-sized mammals, such as rabbits and squirrels, and are valued for their strength and agility. These majestic birds symbolize freedom and wilderness in many cultures.
