Eagles, known for their formidable strength, are renowned as formidable avian predators due to their impressive adaptations. Unfortunately, these once-dominant hunters now face threats, such as illegal shooting and poisoning, jeopardizing many eagle species.

The Accipitridae family comprises 68 distinct eagle species, and their classification as eagles is determined by their capacity to hunt substantial prey, typically exceeding 50 centimeters in length, rather than their genetic proximity. Eagles are distributed across every continent except Antarctica, with a predominant presence in Africa and Asia. These remarkable birds face various threats, including climate change, hunting, habitat degradation, and electrocution from power lines. #birds #eagles
