Sharp eyes, powerful hunting claws, and wings that cut through the sky are all unique features of the eagle. And this fierce bird has thus become the overlord of the sky, and has embarked on the top of the food chain of the bird kingdom. So the topic of discussion today is the 4 most ferocious eagles.
1. African crown eagle
The African crowned eagle is the largest bird of prey that lives in the forests of the African savannah. They have a body length of 90 cm, weigh 5 kg and can reach a wingspan of 2.5 meters, and they can easily catch prey that is five times heavier than themselves.
This bird is extremely fierce, but when it finds its prey at a high altitude, it will immediately swoop down, use the impact force to directly smash the skull of the prey with its claws, killing it with one blow, and once a boy was attacked to death by an African crown eagle.
2. Ape-eating eagle
The ape-eating eagle is also a large bird, with a length of about 91 cm, a weight of more than 6 kg, and a wingspan of 2 to 2.5 meters.
Because they have short, wide wings and long tails, they fly more agile and can accelerate suddenly than other places. This is very beneficial for ape-eating eagles to prey on various monkeys, snakes, civets and other animals.
3. American horn carving
The American Horned Eagle is one of the largest eagles in the world. They can reach a length of 1.02 meters, the male weighs 4.8 kilograms, while the female can weigh up to 9 kilograms, and the wingspan is 2.24 meters, which can easily catch prey that weighs three-quarters of their own weight.
The main prey of the American horned eagle is most of the mammals in the trees, especially various monkeys, which sometimes prey on other birds.
4. Tiger head sea eagle
The tiger-headed sea eagle can reach 1 meter in length, weighs about 10 kilograms, has a wingspan of 2.5 meters, and has a characteristic yellow beak that contrasts significantly with its body color.
Unlike other birds, the tiger-headed sea eagle mainly inhabits the seashore and feeds salmon and trout, but their diet is not specific, and they also eat mammals such as seals, as well as large birds such as swans and geese.
