The eagle is a large bird of prey known for its powerful build and keen eyesight. It belongs to the family Accipitridae and is found in various habitats around the world, including mountains, forests, and near large bodies of water. Eagles primarily feed on fish, small mammals, and other birds, using their sharp talons to catch prey. Eagles are often recognized by their impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 7 feet in some species. They are also known for their strong, hooked beaks that help them tear apart their food. The bald eagle is one of the most famous species, symbolizing strength and freedom in the United States.
