Adult golden eagles can measure more than 3.5 feet from beak to tail and have wingspans up to 8 feet. The birds weigh an average of 7 to 12 pounds and are about the size of a newborn lamb. Its grip force is stronger than a lion’s jaws, at roughly 750 pounds per square inch.
The most extensively dispersed species of eagle, golden eagles are widespread throughout North America, Eurasia, and parts of northern Africa. They are native to the Northern Hemisphere. These ᴛᴇʀʀɪʙʟᴇ ᴋɪʟʟer birds of the air can soar thousands of feet in the air and have miles-long vision.
The Chamois, a mountain goat and related to the antelope native to Europe, is ʜᴜɴᴛed by golden eagles using an incredible ʜᴜɴᴛing strategy. When it comes to mountain goats, these eagles will dig their talons into the back and, using their incredible grip power, drag the mountain goat off a cliff and the power of gravity will ᴋɪʟʟ the prey.
At that height, it’s already over if they can simply manage to do enough to cause the goat to lose balance. It is brilliant and effective.
