DESCRIPTION

The unique structure of its skeleton and muscle make this bird having the ability of long
distance flying, Steppe eagle is able to travel as far as 4000 miles from the area of Central Asia
to Africa region. Bone in the eagles (and other big birds as albatross or vulture) have the nature
of pneumatic (the skeleton has a cavity filled by air). In addition to the nature of the bone, the
ability to fly long-distance is also supported by a modification of muscle and wings. Its muscle
weight on the eagle is located at the centre of its gravitation, super-sized wide wings to ease
the flow of air raising his body. In addition it can also make an eagle capable to fly without
flapping their wings. We can see it when the eagle soaring in the air, stretches its wings widely
without flapping. It usually flaps its wings to increase the speed of flying, especially when they
are hunting prey.

Eagle is warm-blooded animal. Its wings and body are filled by the midrib feathers. As bird,
an eagle breed by means of eggs that it has a hard shell in a nest he has made. She kept her
child until it is able to fly.

An eagle is predator. Its main food is animals, like a rat, squirrel, lizards, fish and chicken, also
of the kinds of insects depending on the size of its body. Some of eagles catch fish as main
meal. Those eagles usually live in the area of water. The beak of eagle is not toothed but curved
and strong to lacerate meat of its prey. This bird also has a pair of strong feet and nails that are
sharp and curved for gripping prey as well as capability of sharp vision in hunting the prey
from a immeasurably long distance.

The eagle has good respiratory system and it is able to equip the oxygen that is much needed
during flight. The eagle’s heart consists of four chambered like humans. Booth are known as
the atrium, while those under are identified as ventricle.

Eagle is used as symbol of national flag in many countries in the world because eagle is
believed as fortune of good fate.
