Information
In the Real World
Like most birds of prey, eagles are fast fliers, effective hunters, and symbols of strength and power. Though not as large as some vultures, eagles are most often larger than other raptors. In addition to their other senses, eagles also have extremely keen eyesight, which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. Their diet includes small mammals, small reptiles, and even other birds. The female of all known species of eagles is larger than the male.
Eagles normally build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. The dominant chick tends to be a female, as they are bigger than the male. The parents take no action to stop the killing.
In The Lion Guard
Eagles seem to live in the Pride Lands, although not much else is known about them.
