Eagles play a crucial role in ecosystems as controllers of populations and scavengers, but are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and hunting, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.Eagles are opportunistic hunters with incredible eyesight, capable of spotting prey from great distances and diving towards it at high speeds.Eagles use several adaptations for soaring flight, such as thermals, ridge lift, and dynamic soaring, and can detect and use thermals to gain altitude without flapping.Eagles have unique adaptations for flight, including a wing structure designed for maximum efficiency and the ability to manipulate wing shape and angle for lift and energy efficiency.14.5 How do eagles communicate with each other?.14.4 Do eagles have any natural predators?.14.3 What is the social structure of eagle communities?.
