Eagles are large birds of prey known for their impressive size, powerful build, and keen eyesight. They belong to the family Accipitridae and are found on every continent except Antarctica. Eagles primarily hunt for fish, small mammals, and other birds, using their sharp talons and strong beaks to catch and eat their prey. One of the most famous species is the Bald Eagle, which is a symbol of strength and freedom in the United States. Eagles are also known for their majestic nests, often built high in trees or on cliffs, where they raise their young in a safe environment.
