Wedge-tailed Eagle

The Wedge-tailed Eagle is a large bird of prey native to Australia and its surrounding regions. Known for its distinctive long, wedge-shaped tail and impressive wingspan of up to 2.8 meters, it is one of the largest eagles in the world. These eagles primarily hunt rabbits, kangaroos, and other small to medium-sized animals, using their sharp talons and keen eyesight to locate prey from great distances. They are also known for their aerial displays and strong nesting instincts, often building large nests in high trees or cliffs. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is a symbol of Australia’s diverse wildlife.
