According to animalwised.com, some species of eagles are among the largest birds of prey in the world.
Like all birds of prey, eagles have robust, strong, and pointed beaks, ideal for tearing their prey. They also have strong, muscular legs, and powerful talons.
The eyes of eagles are extremely powerful, and it is estimated that some species have visual acuity up to 8 times that of humans. This allows eagles to detect potential prey at great distances.
