Golden eagles can reach 200 miles per hour when diving through

RSPB Wildlife
Explorers is the
junior membership
of the RSPB.
Golden eagles can
reach 200 miles per
hour when diving
through the air
to catch prey.
Super-sharp
eyesight means
golden eagles can
spot a rabbit up
to two miles
away.
These huge
birds have a
wingspan of two
metres – that’s
as wide as a
large car!
Long, powerful
talons help eagles
to grab hold of
their prey.
