Eagles have always given the impression of being fierce and brutal, they like to soar in the sky and find their prey through their sharp eyes. It is an awe-inspiring animal.
The eagle has dominion over the sky and has always been synonymous with strength in the minds of people.
There are hundreds of species of eagles in the world, so let's take a brief look at a few of them.
1. Golden eagle
Golden eagles are usually active alone or in pairs, sometimes in smaller groups in winter, but occasionally large groups of about 20 can be seen.
Golden eagles are good at soaring and gliding, often gliding in a straight line or circling while looking down at the ground to find prey, controlling the direction, height, speed, and flight posture of the flight through the subtle adjustment of the two wings and tail.
After finding its target, the golden eagle gathers its wings and dives at a very high speed, and at the last moment extends its wings to slow down, while firmly grasping the head of the prey and poking its sharp claws into the skull, killing it immediately.
It preys on dozens of species of prey, such as geese and ducks, deer, foxes, otters, hares, and so on, and sometimes also eats rodents and other small animals.
When it catches larger prey, it dismembers them on the ground, eating the good meat and the heart, liver, lungs, and other internal parts, and then divides the rest into two halves and brings them back to the roosting place in batches.
2. Mountain Hawk-eagle
Mountain Hawk-eagle is often alone, flying with two wings flat and slow to incite, sometimes hovering at high altitudes, often standing on dead trees in dense forests.
The call is very noisy. It mainly feeds on macaques, hares, pheasants, snakes, lizards, and rodents, but also preys on small birds and large insects, and occasionally on fish.
3. Horned eagle
The horned eagle is the largest in the world, but it is not nearly as well known as others of its kind.
Horned eagles can lift prey that weighs 1.5 times their body weight, such as monkeys, sloths (sloths), and other tree-dwelling mammals, as well as birds such as macaws.
They have good eyesight and can recognize targets only an inch in size at distances of more than 200 yards.
4. Tiger-headed Sea Eagles
They mainly inhabit coastal and river valley areas, and sometimes follow rivers into inland areas farther from the sea.
The call is deep and hoarse. Flight is slow, often gliding and hovering in the air or standing for long periods on rocky shores, tree branches, or dunes along the shore.
Flocks are active in winter. It is the largest aerial raptor on the bay. Their main diet is fish but also eat other foods. Distributed in Japan, Korea, Korea, and South Korea.
