Eagles are large birds of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae. They are known for their powerful build, sharp talons, and keen eyesight, which is among the strongest of any animal. Eagles are found all over the world, except in Antarctica, and are generally apex predators in their respective ecosystems. They are carnivorous and feed primarily on fish, small mammals, and other birds. Eagles are revered in many cultures as symbols of strength, courage, and freedom.
