What Eagles look like • All the colors that an eagle has are black, white, brown, red, yellow/ gold, orange and gray. They have no hair but they do have feathers. Eagles can be tall or small. Their ears are behind their eyes. They can weigh from one pound to 20 pounds.
Lifespan-how long it lives. Is it endangered? • The eagle used to be endangered but now it’s not. In the zoo the eagle would live for about 40 years but in the wild it would live for about 20 years.
Habitat-where it lives and what it eats • There are eagles on every continent except Antarctica. They can live in desserts, jungles, swamps and forests. Some eagles eat fish and a lot of eagles eat meat. Some eagles even eat snakes.
Babies • When an eagle is starting to hatch it makes a squealing noise. Then the baby eagle starts to make a crack in it’s egg with a special beak. Then the crack gets bigger but it may take 35 to 40 hours for the baby to come out of the egg completely.
What is inside and outside the eagle’s body and how it helps it • In some places there are braces in their bones that makes them stronger. The claws of an eagle are just the right size for grabbing their food.
Food • The eagle is a carnivore. Some eagles that eat fish catch their prey by waiting for a bird to catch a fish. Then the eagle steals the other bird’s fish. Also eagles that like meat get meat from dead animals because eagles try to use as little energy as possible because it is hard to live in the wild.
Behavioral Adaptation • Eagles can be lazy like the African eagle. It waits for a bird to catch its fish, then the eagle steals the fish.
Landforms • Eagles live in swamps, desserts, jungles and forests. They also live up in trees. They may also live in a hole in the ground.
