The eagle’s talons are its deadly weapon for attacking and capturing prey.
The golden eagle is one of the most famous raptors in the Northern Hemisphere, with a wingspan ranging from 1.8 to 2.3 meters. Thanks to its speed and perfect hunting skills, this species is regarded as one of the top raptors.
Typically, eagles fly at speeds of about 45 to 52 km/h. When they spot prey, they can dive at speeds of up to 320 km/h.
The talons on an eagle’s feet are curved and sharp. These sharp claws are its deadly weapon for attacking and capturing prey. Eagles can fly great distances to hunt, possessing a vision eight times better than that of humans. They can detect small prey from miles away.
The golden eagle can reach speeds of up to 250 km/h with its sharp talons capable of killing small prey such as foxes and rabbits or capturing wolves. They can swoop down to snatch even large animals like wolves, flying at speeds of up to 200 km/h.
