Anatomy: One of the most powerful birds of prey in the world. Its robust structure allows it to successfully attack prey often heavier than itself and, despite its imposing size, the golden eagle is a very agile flyer. The legs have the typical characteristics of birds of prey, with short fingers and large claws capable of injuring and killing prey. Equipped with a very sharp sight (six times that of humans, with a 300-degree field of view) that allows the golden eagle to identify its prey even at a considerable distance.

Beak: Long, stocky, curved downwards, powerful and sharp, useful for tearing flesh. It is also used to grab branches, clean feathers, feed the young, fight and defend itself.

Plumage: The color varies according to age and the adult dress is completed at 5 years of age. Depending on the age and sex of the animal, the color of the feathers ranges from brown to dark brown. The head, on the other hand, is golden brown. The young have a blackish-brown plumage with white half-moon spots in the center of the wings and a white tail edged in black.
