Eagles: The Cutest Symbol Of Freedom Ever!
Living only in nests atop trees over 75 feetĀ (23 meters) high, eagles are usually hatched in pairs or trios and spend a significant amount of time being fed and protected by their parents before heading out on their own. Unlike most species of animal, female eagles are significantly larger at birth than their male counterparts, and therefore have a higher chance of surviving during their hatch-ling phase. Once they’re ready to fend for themselves, eagles will use their 8 foot (around 2.66 meters) wing span to soar through the skies near bodies of water in countries all over Europe, Asia, North America, South America, and Australia. Known as a symbol of both freedom and of the United States of America, eagles are also known for the huge nests that they build over the course of, sometimes, years (one such nest was once found to weigh 1 ton). They’re also famous for their amazing eyesight (hence the term “eagles eye”) , for the fact that they usually mate for life (like they’re married), and for they’re ability to dive for food at over 100 mph (160 kph). Due to this tremendous set of abilities, coupled with an aggressive conservation campaign, eagles have come back from the brink of extinction to become a now flourishing species.
