Have fun reading.

  • There are more than 60 different species of eagle.
  • The Harpy Eagle and the Philippine Eagle have wings that spread 5 ft 9 in to 7 ft 4 in across and use their massive, sharp talons, to kill and carry off prey as large as deer and monkeys.
  • In Greece, Golden Eagles eat turtles, dropping them from great heights onto rocks to break open their armoured shells.

  • Eagles are admired the world over as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence.
