The white-tailed eagle is a large bird of prey found in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. It has a distinctive white tail and a wingspan that can reach up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet). These eagles primarily inhabit coastal areas, lakes, and rivers, where they hunt for fish, birds, and small mammals. White-tailed eagles are known for their impressive flying abilities and strong eyesight, which help them spot prey from great distances. They build large nests, often in tall trees or cliffs, and can live for over 20 years in the wild. Conservation efforts have helped their populations recover in some regions.
