Both the national bird and the national animal of The United States of America, the Bald Eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of The United States of America, and it appears on its Seal.

The Bald Eagle in the continental United States hovered on the brink of extinction in the latter 20th century. Populations recovered, and the species was added to the List of Threatened Species by the US Federal Government on July 12, 1995. The American Eagle was removed from the list of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States in June of 2007.

Eagle habitat and facts eagle habitat and facts

Most of Canada, Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico are included in the Bald Eagle's range. They nest near large bodies of open water, where abundant food sources and old-growth trees abound.

Bald Eagles, Opportunistic feeders, survive mainly on fish, swooping down and snatching them from the water, while snatching them from the water. Their nests are the largest nests ever recorded for any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species. In St. Petersburg, Florida, the first found eagle's nest was discovered. It was 9.5 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep, and it weighed in at nearly 3 tons.

These majestic raptors have a long list of facts. The following is a summary of the truth. A fully grown female Bald Eagle has a wingspan of 2 meters (7 feet) and weighs 3 to 7 kilograms (7 to 15 pounds). Male eagles are marginally smaller. They also mate for life and live between 20 to 30 years. As a power bird of prey, an eagle's keen sense of sight joins strong muscles, piercing talons, and beak, making them primed for the hunt.

Despite the fact that the raptor is also known as the Bald Eagle, the raptor's name derives from an older meaning of "white-headed." The bird isn't bald at all. The adult eagle is mainly brown with a white head and tail.
