Imagine you’re a fish swimming happily and suddenly, you're flying in mid air, then everything goes black. You have just become a bald eagle’s dinner. The bald eagle can be found in North America, which allows it to feed on many fresh fish from the rivers and lakes across the region. The Bald Eagle is a national symbol of America. This giant bird once was endangered in 1967, but luckily nowadays has recovered and can still be seen flying across the skies of America. So what can you expect to see if a Bald Eagle was flying above you?

The female is 89-93 centimeters and has a wingspan 2-2.28 meters and the male is 76-86 centimeters and a wingspan of 1.82-2.15. It has long talons so it doesn’t touch the water and grab a fish. The bald eagle can glide up to a amazing speed of 160km so it’s faster than a car on the motorway. It weighs up to three to seven kg, like a pumpkin. Bald eagles have a hooked beak so their food doesn't fall out .

It eats so much fish it has a good source of omega 3. Bald eagles are carnivores so they fight for there food against animals like pelicans.
