About
The golden eagle is a large apex bird of prey that stands nearly three feet tall while weighing under ten pounds.
Female golden eagles are typically larger than males, which is a common trait among birds of prey. Despite having a bulky, imposing outline, hollow bones and specialized air sacs keep the eagle surprisingly lightweight. This lightweight frame allows it to dive and maneuver quickly when hunting ground mammals like hares and marmots.
From Wikipedia
The golden eagle is a bird of prey living in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the most widely distributed species of eagle.
