*** About Bald Eagle: The bald eagle, known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, stands as a symbol of strength and freedom in America. This majestic bird, with its distinctive white head and tail against a brown body and wings, reaches an impressive wingspan that can be over 2 meters wide. As a top predator, the bald eagle has a diet mainly consisting of fish, but it adapts to available resources, often snagging mammals or scavenging dead animals. Revered in many Native American cultures as sacred, bald eagles were once on the brink of extinction due to hunting, habitat loss, and the detrimental effects of the pesticide DDT. Conservation efforts have significantly helped their populations recover, making them a success story for wildlife protection.
