The golden eagle
The golden eagle is the king of the diurnal raptors, name gilded eagle comes to him from the color of the feathers which cover the nape of the neck and the occiput to him. Its powerful greenhouses, its sharp-edged nails at the same time enable him to perch and drive out preys which it cuts up of its hooked nozzle. Its broad, round wings and a scale of more than 2 meters do of him one of the largest raptors of the world. The plumage sinks uniform with white spots with the wings and at the base of the tail is similar to the two sexes.
Its vision, 8 times higher than that of the man, enables to locate him its preys very high in the sky In captivity, certain eagles lived until the 45 years age.
