Eagle

Eagles are often further divided into four categories depending on diet and physical features. Some examples include:

• True or Booted Eagles - "booted" is a reference to the leg feathers, which extend all the way down to the toes. Golden ...eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are a type of true or booted eagle.

• Harpy Eagles - the six types of harpy eagles can be identified by the crests on their heads.

• Fish Eagles - diet is mainly fish. Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are a type of fish eagle, but their diet also consists of birds and small mammals. In addition, bald eagles are scavengers that harass other birds and steal their fish.

•Snake Eagles - diet includes a variety of snakes. Bateleur eagles (Terathopius ecuadatus) are snake eagles. www.morotours.com
